Flip Kits?
Can someone explain what a rear flip kit is, and if you have some pics of a stock rear suspension and one that has been flipped. I want to lower my truck more in the rear to level it out, but im not sure whats been done to it already. Thanks

Re: Flip Kits?
I see, so it literally means flipping the axle. Is a c-notch required for this? Also does anyone want to take a guess at whats been done to the suspension of my truck, also how I could level out the rear?

Re: Flip Kits?
Hard to tell but I'll take a stab at it...3 inch lowering springs in the front and 2 inch drop shackels with a couple of leafs out. 3/3.5-4 drop.

Re: Flip Kits?
Im thinking a flip kit would drop it too much in the rear. Whats the best way to get another inch or two drop? Thanks guys

Re: Flip Kits?
we need pics of the shackles & hangers. a set of shackles will lower it 2in and a set of hangers will lower 2in more for a tolal of 4in. a flip kit will lower it 6in.
