I'm interested in ditching my shackle/hanger combo for a flip kit in the back. Is it going to ride better or worse? Are there any advantages for the flip kit except being lower? Or if you guys know of any other way I can lower the rear 2'' without distroying the ride, let me know! All opinions or set ups appreciated. Thanks- Brian

 

well it should ride the same since you're still using your stock leaf springs. if anything you'll handle better because of the lowered center of gravity.

 

it will ride better

 

A flipkit rides better than shackles/hangers.

 

Let me know if you wanna get rid of your old stuff.

 

provided you notch the frame, the flip kit will ride pretty much the same as factory. All it does is relocate the axle on top of the leaf springs. The payload isnt altered at all.

 

Thanks for the replies! Any recommendations on types of brands to look at?

 

Sure thing!

 

I like McGaughy's personally.

 

I'm happy with my DJM, but many will say McGaughys. For a flip kit, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the major brands, DJM, McGaughys, or Belltech.
