Re: 3/5 drop questions
prolly the easiest way I've found for that kind of drop to date... Is a flip kit in the rear, and 2.5" coil drop in the front.
no pics, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to many to filter through.

Re: 3/5 drop questions
 But the great thing is that you have many options on what way you want to drop it.

A flip kit should be fine for the back. The amount of drop is dependent on the thickness of your springs. More leaves = more drop. It might not end up exactly where you want it. Folks who have done a flip kit should be able to give you a good ide of how much drop you'll get if you tell them how many leaves you have. I bought my parts at performancesuspension.com. No complaints. You might also look at the parts Summit Racing sells. They seem very reasonable. Western Chassis and DJM parts get good reviews here on the site. Slonaker |
