Home made flip kit

[eric.s.t]

Alright, so after some thinking, searching, reading and finally coming to a conclusion... I want to make my own flip kit.

I will buy a perch for the axle, weld it on. From my research, Im like 90 percant sure that the axle gets pushed about half inch to an inch to allow your drive shaft some space. then I also have some shock extensions that should fit already.

But has anyone ever seen the perch (saddle) that have bolts welded to them... no need of having a ubolt...

You might talk to Al. I'm pretty sure one of his trucks was done this way, by putting a new perch on the axle.

Looks cool but pricy. I would just use this and drill the front hole bigger.

Ive been looking for this!! first I had to try and figure out what it was called... every where I looked it was called a 'saddle' well... Jegs and summitracing don't have 'saddles'! now I figure out what it was called but they all like 35-40$ plus shipping! thanks for sending me this link, these are much cheaper. I was going to build my own perch with the built in bolts..

The relocated upper shock mounts made a huge difference!
