33 1/2" center mounting hole to center of lower mounting hole, 30" bar length without heim joints. Center of spring eye to center of lower mounting hole 4 1/4". Hope this helps.

theres no difference in the bar between the flip and non flip. just weld the tabs to the center of the plate and go with it.

When i did my flip kit I just made new brackets and welded them to the bottom plates that came with the flip kit. I made the bolt center 3-1/2" under the leaf. Works great
