Funny

Speaking about drops. If you look at the hitch on the back you can see how the guy that I got it from lowered the hitch by 3in. I forgot about that until yesterday. I was pulling out of the station and there is a big dip. I almost got stuck in the damn driveway lol. I had just idled out of the parking lot and I fill a thud! When to give it gas and the right side wheel just spun. Finally the other side kicked in and got me out. I felt stupid.

all you have to do with the flip is relocate the cradel from the top to the bottom it has to be cut off. or find some at the junk yard.

Contagious209 · 08-26-2009, 12:49 PM

Cradel?

Contagious, check out this discussion. We got into rear flip kits pretty heavy. Hope it can help. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=358544

for the front you can use half ton coils because I have a set of stock coils out of half ton and 3/4 ton and there the same size

the cradel secures the axel to the leaf with a dow din on the logest leaf.

Contagious209 · 08-26-2009, 07:14 PM

You don't need a c-notch with JUST a 2" shackle.
Look around on the board,... and see what everyone else is doing to lower their trucks. Find a drop you like and go for that. 2 inch rear drop isn't much.

Contagious209 · 08-26-2009, 07:37 PM

Well I was on summit and that's all that showed up for my truck for a flip kit

**lolife99** · 08-26-2009, 08:01 PM

Give Sport Truck Direct a call. I believe their c30 parts will work on your c20.

Would both work fine ? I know the second one comes with ubolts and the first one doesn't. If they work I'm getting ready to order. Most likely I would go with the second one since it comes with u bolts

3r!c84 · 08-27-2009, 03:32 PM

Contagious209 · 08-27-2009, 03:38 PM

Are those good for my 3/4 ton?

3r!c84 · 08-27-2009, 03:45 PM

you got me there.i dont know.
it dont realy specify. they dont realy make lowering kits for 3/4 trucks.
its mostly all 1/2.
what rear end you got 12 bolt?

shockermotorsports1 · 08-27-2009, 04:56 PM

the second kit is spec for the 3/4 ton. they are well worth the 90 bucks. then on the front cut 3/4 coil off the spring and get some shims and you will be good to go. You have to shim the upper A arm or it will have a ton of camber

Contagious209 · 08-27-2009, 07:15 PM
