So, I have myself confused...done a lot of reading here and it seems straight forward.
However, when I go to purchase parts, the flip kit will not come up for 4wd trucks...only the RWD.
Does this mean the rear of the 4wd is different some how...because I have been under both, and there seems to be no difference...aside from driveshaft, and lift block, which I toss anyway.
I want my 2012 Z71 lower. 4/7 drop to be exact.
I am going to achieve this with;
FRONT
Belltech lift/lower struts
2" drop spindles...DJM, belltech etc
REAR
DJM Flip kit p/n RK2507-7
shocks
shim kit
helper bag if necessary
Is this the parts list, or is this out to lunch?
Do I need shackle flip kit
shackles
or any other parts?
