Question Flip Kit questions

Looking to the masses for an answer. For the GMT800 trucks (99-06), which flip kit is the best quality & why? Don't wanna buy junk....

Please share your experiences.

Thanks,

Roger

I have researched this topic. Seems some people on a certain full size chevy site break the DJM c notches. I would think a kit that come with perches, plates and u-bolts would work fine, but I would weld the perches once the pinion angle was right.

I wonder IF I could run a lift shackle and a flip and not have to notch???

Time to go lower !

Man the mcgaughys or Bell tech stuff seems to be good quality, Im not impressed with how DJM's parts looks, they look cheap/weak IMO.

The DJM stuff I've had the opportunity to work with required quite a bit of "finesse", if you know what I mean.

So, sounds like McG's or Belltech? Can't go wrong with either?

Why am I having a hard time finding a part number for a Belltech flip kit?
