no one?

Re: Flip Kit
 

Yes, that DJM part number will work with your truck. Summit's description is screwy though... They seem to have mixed in a shackle kit description somehow. Here is a link to the application guide on the DJM website... The part numbers shown in the charts have a link to the instructions for the kits.

Here has been my thinking as I am planning to flip the axle in my '71 Chevy.

Why not use a pair of these and apply some welding?

Throw in a couple pairs of these:

Or something like this instead:

Is there some reason this would be a bad idea?

It seems that it would be a lot cheaper than $156.99 (Around $114 cheaper).

Re: Flip Kit
 

Yeah that would be good but since I'm not the greatest weleder that summit kit would be the best for me.

I got mine form Stylintrucks here

It looks different than what's in the pic, but don't worry, it works. There's some pics of it in my build thread.

Re: Flip Kit
 

So yours is dropped 2.5 in the front, and 5 in the rear right? Also how does it ride?

Re: Flip Kit
 

Actually mine was brought down more like 5 in the front and about 9 in the rear. It sat like a damn prerunner when I got it! It doesn't ride bad, but it's no Caddy.
