Flip Kit

Was wondering if anyone might have an answer. I have a 77 GMC with a 3"-4" DJM drop kit. I am wondering if I can still add a flip kit to get an even lower stance?

Re: Flip Kit

yes it will lower it 5-6 more inches, but I would remove a leaf or two from the pack, de- arched leafs or drop leafs

Re: Flip Kit

How does it get the 3/4" drop? Does it use shackles and hangers in the rear?

Re: Flip Kit

yes you can still put a flip kit on to lower it even more but you will run into a c notch.
