[fordsux8269]

i ordered the djm flip but all it came with was shock extenders bumpstops and a bracket i was wondering if i should send it back and get one that comes with spring plates u bolts saddles and everything else. also if you have any tips or pics of like a step by step for the install it would be great

That is all there is with a basic flip kit, You can get U-bolts from any bolt place or a diesel repair store should be able to get you some. You can use your current spring plate if you desire.

I do recommend getting a C-notch if you are flipping the axle, BUt....

instructions: Well, do you want to keep the brake lines attached, or keep the springs attached?
If you want to keep the brake lines attached you need to completely remove both springs and move them under the axle. If you want to keep the springs attached, you have to disconnect the brake lines and e-brake cables and the drive shaft and tires and lift it over the springs. This can be a pain if the bed is still on.

Just use the plates that you currently have. The u-bolts only need to be longer.
