What shocks to use with flip kit?
I found this flip kit on ebay for 37 bucks. Its just basically the plate that goes between the axle and leaf springs. I just read on c10forums that some guy use c30 front shocks on his c10 and it works good. Anyone heard about this before? here's pics...
am on a budget so cant afford drop shocks. Im even considering air shocks but those sound expensive. |

Re: What shocks to use with flip kit?
You already have your axle flipped on top of the leaf springs, and looks like it was done by welding a leaf spring axle bracket to the axle. You won't need those brackets, as you already have a flip kit. I am assuming that picture is of how the truck is now???? Or is this a picture of the front C30 shocks on that truck.
I would recommend shock extenders, which would allow you to utilize more of a standard shock. Make sure if you use a front shock that it has enough travel for the rear end. |

I figured after I wrote that.... It's late, so I will blame it on that.

I recommend calling Early Classic and see what they recommend and offer. There products are top notch and they have allot of experience doing exactly what you want to do. I also know that their axle saddles are only $39. For $2 more you get a solid reputation and expert advice.
