Re: Djm flip kit
As a general rule,... I use this formula:
1/2 coil = 1" of drop.

Re: Djm flip kit
I also used the DJM flip kit and found that 1/2 coil, along with DJM's 3" spindles, will make it level. Hope that helps.

Re: Djm flip kit
I cut off one coil and 3" drop spindles for a slight rake.

Re: Djm flip kit
Not to hijack a thread. Can I go 3/4 coil? Any pics? I have a few days off for TG and I think I can do the drop then as I think I'll have my goodies in order.

Re: Djm flip kit
Is that the 5" DJM flip kit? Did you need to install c-notches?

Re: Djm flip kit
Its the 5" flip kit and i didnt have to take the bed off or c-notch the frame. It was pretty easy. The hardest part was grinding off the old bump stops.
