Flip kit for 69 C20
Just picked up a C20 and plan on lowering it.
I keep reading about the flip kit but don't see many options for a 69. I see a few comments that the 73+ kits will work but no pics. Has anybody put a 73+ kit on a 69? I can't seem to figure out what the difference would be. |

Re: Flip kit for 69 C20
DJM makes a kit for the 67-72. I have one on my C10. 3" axle tubes and 2 1/4" springs are on both C10 and C20 so should work.
If you have a Longhorn, they have 2 1/2" wide springs so the 73+ kit would be the way to go.

Re: Flip kit for 69 C20
I emailed DJM and they said no kit for the C20 anymore.
I do have the 2.25 springs though so maybe a C10 would work. The only C20 kits I have found come with the C notch bracket. It will never have anything in the bed so I wanted to go without the notch for now. The axle looks like 3" to me and it is the 10 bolt. |

If you are comfortable welding and fab, you can make new mounts with 2.25” x 1/4” wall square tube and weld onto your housing. Flip it and reuse stock hardware.

Re: Flip kit for 69 C20
I'm on the fence about my welding. Not sure I would trust it on an axle but I may go that route if I can't fine a decent kit.

Re: Flip kit for 69 C20
Are people reusing the stock spring plate? I welded on some perches and started to mount the plate. Don't like how little contact it has with the spring though.
I'm guessing I need a flat piece of steel but can't seem to find one that fits. |
