pics 2 1/2 spindle and flip kit

looking for pictures of this setup. Looking to leave the stock springs front and rear and only do the flip and the spindle. also, whats the best brand and whats the best priced brand. I see mcgaughys and westerns, can get both for the same price.

In my opinion you will need another inch to an inch and half to make the truck level. If not the front will definetly sit higher.

Heres my 77 with 3" spindles/flip kit


I bought my kit from sporttruckdirect.com

Re: pics 2 1/2 spindle and flip kit

My truck is 2.5/4, and it sits level. The higher fender openings in the front make it look like the front end is high. A flip is going to give you even more drop in the back, and it won't look good. You'll need to go lower in the front or not do the flip, in my opinion.

just ordered some 3" drop spindles, so this should get me closer to what I"m wanting. like to run some 20's and have a nice stance eventually. gonna have to buy the stance first though.

Here is my 73 with a 3" drop in the front and 4" shackles/hangers in the rear. Perfect in my opinion.
