Flip kit questions.
I have this flip kit on my truck, I’m not sure if it sits right? Do I need a new flip kit or is this one not installed right?

Re: Flip kit questions.

Re: Flip kit questions.
I agree that looks like a home-made part. The 'uprights' on aftermarket brackets should make contact & seat in place @ the original perch flange/pad.
Check both sides & compare.

Re: Flip kit questions.
Thank you. It’s is home Made I’m thinking. Now the question is when I purchase a legit flip kit will it higher or lower my truck even more?

Re: Flip kit questions.
Cool thank u. I do want to be a little higher. Is bell tech like djm flip kit? Does it make a difference in which one to get? Also would adding a leaf to the pack make me higher or lower?

Re: Flip kit questions.
Any flip kit for 73 to 87 will work on a 67 to 72 rear , the difference is in the c notch , frame is slightly different

Re: Flip kit questions.
The 67-72 flip is designed for 2 1/4" leaf springs and the 73 and up for 2 1/2" springs. If you want to hug the spring with the u-bolts you need the 67-72 setup.
