Anyone used these StreetEdge axle flip kits?

[Nick_R_23]

Mostly wondering about quality. The price is on point and it has the better style axle brackets, at least in the photo. I don't like the "actual product may vary" disclaimer on the photo, though. Are these guys going to bait and switch for the crappy style bracket? Also, are the U-bolts the same size as factory? Thanks in advance for any input.

For one extra dollar you can buy a name brand kit from the most legit mailorder house on the internet. No worries about Summit pulling some shady business on you. Free shipping over 99 bucks every day of the week.

Wow, not bad at all. Now let's see how bad Summit will get me for shipping to Alaska.

Edit: Ouch, $48!

Not to Alaska. Contiguous states only.

As noted above, not to Alaska, which is what gets me. I might just end up putting a little more aside and getting suspension bushings, spindles, and a flip kit all in one shot and just suck up the shipping.

Why not just get a new set of axle perches and weld them on?

[Nick_R_23]

By the time I get perches, new U-bolts made, and make/modify plates to fit I'll be into it with time, money, materials, and fuel for much more than $160. I'd rather just pay that for an engineered, bolt on kit with minimal screwing around to make it work.

Perches are $12 at your local Chrysler dealership. P4120074

Probably get them welded in for beer -at a minimum, just match the pinion angle that came out of it.

Your local truck shop or auto parts store can get u-bolts.

Labour is about the same.

[Nick_R_23]

It's just not cost or time effective for me. It's $80 locally to get U-bolts, $12 for your perches, plus time to modify or make a spring plate, plus measuring pinion angle and welding time, plus I'm into 4 hours of drive time (I'm an hour and a half out of town) and $40 in gas to get there and back. I'm nearly there in money anyway as well as already half a day into this before I can even start on the truck itself, just makes more sense for me to buy one bolt on ready.
