Suggestions on flip kit.
Only looking for a couple more inches of rear drop, was thinking of rear hangers to go with my 2" drop shackles. After looking a prices, am i better to remove the shackles and install a flip kit? Any suggestions on who makes the best flip kit. Thanks

Re: Suggestions on flip kit.
Yes, I would do a flip kit over shackle, hanger, & removed leafs. Bell Tech & Western Chassis both make quality flip kits.

Re: Suggestions on flip kit.
I think there are better quality flip kits on the market. I feel like Western Chassis and Belltech are superior choices.
I think DJM makes a decent drop spindle,... but their Flip Kit c-notches and axle saddles are a cheaper design than the WC or Belltech version.

Re: Suggestions on flip kit.
I got mine thru SportTruck Direct for about $150 as a kit w/c-sections, flip brackets, & shock extensions. Others have mentioned STD has had issues similar to CPP as far as CS goes so maybe check & see other possibilities before committing.

Re: Suggestions on flip kit.
I have kind of been on the lookout. I am leaning for a 4/6 or 5/6 drop. I have a line on some spindles, and was going to cut the stock spring in the front. It will be a start.

Re: Suggestions on flip kit.
Northern the picture you saw of my truck where with the drop spindles and the rear flip kit. I had the western chassis flip kit along with the western chassis spindles.
If you don't use the truck to haul much stuff you could remove the overload spring. I did that in mine recently.
