Hey guys- as many of you know, I've tried Mcgaughy's 11004 kit, but I have welded on front hangers which appear to double as body mounts ruling that out of the question. However- next question, has anyone done the McGaughy Kit 93047? I understand that it's a rear kit offering 4 to 5 inches of drop. DIgging around I've found some folks do a flip kit that was 6" drop then did a 2" shackle lift for a 4" drop out back. Any advice/ input is priceless.
TIA

I'd recommend the DJM flip kit.

It has the ability to adjust the pinion angle,which,if you flip your axle, the pinion angle will need resetting.

Before I did my notch, I did the flip kit + 1in lift shackle. It worked out ok. Get good shocks.

Thanks guys, I've already committed to the 047 kit. I can always shim it for correct the angle, right...........
Thanks

Correct. Probably gonna need 4-5 degrees. Might be more.

Wow- is the average alignment shop sophisticated enough to do something like this or should I start searching out shims on my own...........

the DJM flip kit was the biggest piece of **** I've ever seen... I took it off after only 2 weeks and threw it in the trash to build my own kit. I wasn't even comfortable selling that new flip kit to another member to try and recoup my money.


I had no problem with their springs or hanger kits though.

Install the flip kit, take it for a drive, if there is any vibration measure your angles and go from there. Shims aren't always needed.

Just installed a Maxtrac flip kit on my 2017. No shims, no vibrations, 6" drop (it does 5 or 6). Was pretty easy. Getting old brackets off of the frame was the hardest part.
