Apparently DJM doesn't have too many fans, but this is my first flip kit and so far so good. Also, for the 70' they claim that no C-Notch is needed, so I never used one, no opinion on those.

My $0.02.
Did you get the deluxe kit or the standard one?

I think DJM has alot of fans.
I'm just not a big fan of their c-notches or their flip kit's flat plate leaf spring u-bolt plates.
All this is my opinion.
Didn't mean to put DJM down,... I just like Belltech and Western Chassis better.

Haha no worries! I don't take any offense, I actually couldn't find a kit made for 2.25" other than the DJM, I am sure others are out there but they are primarily 2" and 2.5". Also, as for which kit, I believe for a 70' there is only one, I could be wrong.

EDIT: It actually does not look like it does in that picture online. It is much beefier and doesn't look like it was kinda tossed together.

EDITx2: There is a decent pic of it in my build here, if you are interested, down near the bottom. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=423424

Are talking about 73-87 trucks,... or 67-72 leaf spring trucks?
I am referring to the 73-87 truck kits. I have no experience with either but when I was doing research for a flip kit on my suburban this point was made to me by a few different people. BUT, that's just on the 73-87 trucks, I have not heard anything one way or another on the 67-72 leaf trucks. Also, this was a few months ago, maybe they've corrected the issue by now...
