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.

Re: Flip Kit

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?

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-720025/

Throw in a couple pairs of these:

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CEE-7030/

Or something like this instead:

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DJM-LB3LK/

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.

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.

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.
