I drilled mine 11/16" iirc

 

so new round u bolts, a calvert flip kit set, and those weld on perches and thats everything for a flip kit? besides welding them on at the correct angle?

 

I hate to bring this back from the dead, but anyone have any pics of the offset plate hole that they drilled in the lower plate? I am still trying to picture why you need to drill a offset hole. i am guessing that it moves the axle foward to much on a flip? do you drill the top perch too? I see the mopar ones are off .625".

 

You drill the perch that your bolt to the axle. theres no need to drill the plate. when flipping the axle, you need to push the axle back towards the rear bumper to center everything back up.

 

Where'd you get your round U-bolts?

 

Bump for some good flip-kit info.

 

Is anyone able to tell me what the proper pinion angle should be when doing a flip?

 

I went with -4 because I'm running caltracs. Without traction bars, you'd prob want a little more, like -6.

 

I really wish I read this before ordering the djm flip

 

someone do this for me, no welder...or skill
