Re: Rear Flip Bracket

Still can't see the flip pic. So what did you do to lower the front?

Re: Rear Flip Bracket

this was posted on my Build Thread
flip bracket. This may be cheaper than going the route of the typical flip kit. comes with a few other items, but here is the heart of it. Very simple. The only thing you have to do to make these work is drill a hole in your stock square bracket that your U-bolts go though.

Re: Rear Flip Bracket

I used the same bracket on my 84 GMC and lowering my Astro van.

I have a pic of it installed in the Astro, it works the same either way.

Re: Rear Flip Bracket

It looks like the front has been lowered in the before and after pics. I was just wondering how it was done. Mine looks about the same but I have a 3" spindle.
