Flip kit options

I have been doing some searching on info on flip kits for my 72 c10 looks like DJM is the only company manufacturing these for my truck. Anyone have any good or bad reviews on this brand?

Re: Flip kit options

I've used the DJM kit with no issues. In fact I have a kit in my garage right now to install. If I remember correctly, it dropped my GMC 6" or more. I trimmed the stock rear bump stops instead of using the supplied hockey puck like bump stops.

Re: Flip kit options

Thanks for the info-- I've seen pics of the kits for 73 on up trucks and they look like a better quality than the ones for the older trucks

Thanks! I love her!
I have 5/1 and replaced with the same, I still haul stuff. A load in the back always makes it seem to ride "smoother".

I just left SC after finishing a contract up there. I definitely enjoyed the Denver/moresville area and the cigars while I was up there. Also used your rear leaf recommendations to order new leafs for mine.
