With an axle flip what is the drop?
I want to drop my 85 2.5/4. Can I get that with droped spindles and an axle flip? I'm thinking about using these (see link) http://www.ridetech.com/catalog/AIRoverLeaf-28-1.html
To keep my capacity for towing or hauling. Anyone use these on their truck?

Re: With an axle flip what is the drop?
A rear flip will usually give you 5"-6" of drop. If you are not wanting that much I would go with the hanger/shackle combo. It will give you closer to 4"

I used that system but for a different reason.

Re: With an axle flip what is the drop?
have close to that same system in my truck but with the spindals i got shorter springs. The rear became a little soft and i am getting ready to put some helper bags on it.
Truck rides great! |
