4/6 drop 14 bolt sf

[avilleg0]

i have a 1988 c1500 step side and i'm upgrading to a 14 bolt sf and while i'm in there i'm wanting to install a flip kit my question is what kit should i be looking for. I'm thinking that the djm fk1025-6 would work because the rear would classify it as a 454 ss can anyone help

Yes, get the kit for a 454SS. That's what I did using BellTech parts on my '94 C2500LD. Can't say I recommend the DJM flip kit.

Belltech flip kit is better IMO

Yeah Belltech or McGau's

If you are wondering why people say belltech flip kit instead of djm. It is because the belltech kit is a lot beefier and actually braces underneath the frame instead of the top and side only. Yes it's only one or two more bolts but it lakes a huge difference

Also, dunno if they're still doing it, but that "adjustable pinion angle" crap DJM started doing a while back tends to be problematic. Many people suffered it adjusting all on its own.

Well belltech still makes you use the shins on the carrier bearing whicj is a pita because every truck is different. My truck was fine at first without the shims then all of a sudden one day we needed them
