Just finished, 9:00PM
 

I just came in from putting the 5" flip kit on the back of my truck, been working in the dark for about an hour now, but it was worth it! I set the rear back on the ground, and I must say its looking awsome, even without a bed on it! Pics in the morning, and the front gets some 2.5" spindles tomorrow too!

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Sounds good.
Be waiting to see those pics :cool:

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Good deal Im getting ready to toos ona flip too. What kit did ya use, and did you use air tools or not? C-Notch did ya do it?
And yes me too. waiting for the pics!

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

I have the bolt on's, havent got them on yet though.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

I got it at Gmcpauls, and I think if I didnt use air tools I never would have gotten any of the bolts off! C Notch I'm going to try and do today.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Ok, so it's day time now. Where are the pics?

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

I'm trying to grind off the rivets holding the old bump stops on, I'll get some pics now

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

U Bolts are still loose, I cant find a socket deep enough to get to the bolt, and I dont want to cut the u bolts.

no socket deep enough = open end wrench, tighten down very evenly and very tight.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Re-use the stock bolts w/the 'new' nuts or cut the new bolts.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Did you mount the saddles with the holes FWD ;)

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Saddle is the part that goes under the axel correct? If so, then yes the hole is to the front.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Looks good. Your not going to find a socket that deep. Like Scoti said, re-use the stock u-bolts, or whack them suckers of...:)

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

nice man, good luck with it

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Cut those U bolts, They don't look good sticking waaay down there.

Lookin good other than that. http://www.gtr-game.com/forums/style...efault/tup.gif

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

i just used an open wrench to do mine... it kinda sucked

also, remove your bump stops while your bed is off ;)

after i did the flip kit on my truck and sat it back down, the axles where riding on the bump stops, so i had NO suspension travel in the rear.

and when i say remove them, i mean everything not just the rubber. you'll need to drill our grind off the stock rivets

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

good job

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Agreed, it's just a matter of time till you run something over and get it caught on them U-bolts and either bend or twist something.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

I'll try and cut em or put the old ones back in tomorrow, I'm doing like 3 or 4 diffrent things on my truck at a time right now, lol its a good thing I'm not driving it yet.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

did you weld that flip kit in. i did my on my first truck and just wondering what most people do

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

I am debating getting a weld in or bolt in.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

I have the bolt on ones, didnt get time to put them in today, couldnt even grind off the old bump stops, I got so caught up in the spindles.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

Looking good,, If you havent already,, but I agree,, run up the old bolts and cut them muthas off,, It will give a clean look.

Re: Just finished, 9:00PM
 

I used the same flip kit and c-notches from GMC Pauls. I cut off the u-bolts but left about an inch sticking down. Here is how it looks with them cut. I agree that they were way too long before!
