Re: anyone used this type flip kit?
Before the airride I had the same axle saddles under my GMC. They did the job. If you can weld or can get it welded a cheaper solution is to get new axle saddles and put them on the bottom of the axle.
On the ones in the Ebay ad, when you put the U-bolt plate under the springs you have to drill a hole in it so the centering bolt can go through. If I can find mine I will post a pic of it.

Re: anyone used this type flip kit?
You always get what you pay for, and this is a prime example. Ebay is cool for finding some things however, suspension parts will always be somethings I buy locally or at least something with a brand name.
You should buy new drop shocks and a c notch kit if you decide to order these or go with another flip kit.

Re: anyone used this type flip kit?
Starting bid....$39.99 + $22.99 for shipping.....all for $10 worth of metal....
Welding on new spring pads and using blocks w/new U-bolts is a better way to go.....and the spring plates shouldn't need drilled either....just clamp the spring pack and install the centerpin the other direction....

Re: anyone used this type flip kit?
yea if you guys look art that price and read their feedback some exact same kits sold from them for $47.99 and $11.99 shipping. Then those are like $39.99 and $22.99 for shipping? I wrote them and asked why the crap shipping was that much for 2 small pieces of metal that can't way more then 2 lbs. It only cost me $10 to get a spring hanger shipped!!!!!!
All in all I considered using them for a cheap flip kit. As shown above the djm kit required a hole to be drilled too.
