They're exactly the same as the nnbs because the frame and rear suspension are the same. The 07 I got rid of had about the same clearance. The tires hit the wheel wells before the axle hits the frame.

 

Oh ok tought it sat alil higher ive lookd under and they look identical and everybody says that. My 08 had about a 7-10 drop but got al done together with a notch had 6" flip i believe maybe 7", 2" block,2" shackle. Djm Upper lower control arms beltech spindle and 1" spring

 

Got a line-x spray in bed liner today.



Rocking my temp tag like a boss.... tape and all,lol. I removed the rear bumper and tailgate handle to have them painted. After that I'm taking the mirrors and front bumper to have painted as well.

 

Man that looks sharp! I debated long and hard about going 4/5 drop on mine and decided to go 2/3.

 

thats gonna look great. I had a rec rcsb, did the same colormatching, and really set the truck off. Looks like a great usual drop, plans for helper bags?

 

Yea I'll probably add some helper bags in the very near future. I'm sure the new wheels I'm buying will ride rougher and I'll need a little something to keep it from bottoming out.

 

7 is way to low i have decided against that. i tow my ATV and i would like a 4-5 so i can be level with the atv in back and a small rake at ride height. so i already have the djm 4 inch drop kit, and the 7 inch kit which is just an axle flip alone no shackles so maybe i could just add a 2 inch shackle if i can find some for sale (anyone know where?) and call it a day.. what are some of the problems you had with your flip kit, did you need to use shims? any vibrations or drive ability problems other than the tires hitting the fender?

 

ohh and what shocks are you using

 

Got the rear bumper and tailgate handle painted. I'm getting the front done next week when my painter has more time. And I'm pulling the bowtie and all badging off the tailgate tomorrow I think.

 

All of the flipbkits made for the 07-13 set the axle too far back. It causes interference with the stock resonator and the break lines on the passenger side. I bent mine down and flipped the abs/break line bracket to make it clear. Also the trans mount spacer bolts are too short and you get some drive line vibration at 45-55mph. I have not shimmed mine because I'm just going to pull it off and replace it with the bell tech kit flip made for these trucks. And I'm using bell tech street and performance rear shocks.
