axle flip kit

Anyone have or know of a good axle flip kit? I was looking at the DJM, but wanted to know opinions before I pull the trigger.

DJM here as well. Not sure there are any other options out there for the 2 1/4" leaf springs. Summit has them, but it is hard to find on the website as the description isn't very good.

I was going to buy this flip kit FK1012-5, but the leaf springs on my blazer are 2-1/2" wide. Anyone know of a kit that will fit that?

Thanks

Re: axle flip kit

The leafs for 73 up c-10s are 2.5". DJM kit would be 1024-5 or 1024-ltd but it would be a long shot for it to work with your modified set up. http://djmsuspension.com/application...-kits/c-parts/
