How’s the ride quality with the DJM Flip kit? I’m stuck between the DJM flip kit and Belltech 4” rear drop kit.
Shocks and springs will determine your ride quality more than a flip kit, up until the point where you bottom out. So whatever you do, you just have to make sure you still have enough bump travel and you're sitting around 30% of the way into the shock stroke at ride height. If you have less than 2-3" of bump travel, it won't be great. There are very few good off the shelf shocks out there, and at least when I built this, there were zero truly good shock relocation kits.
You have to do the C notch if you do the flip kit, which you likely already realize. These things run out of travel really quickly in the rear. You'll also need to move the exhaust up where it goes over the axle and possibly pull the fuel filler hose up a bit where it goes above the axle. I moved everything just to be safe. The notch kits come with these horrible flat poly bump stops - using GMT800 foam rear stops from a Tahoe will help a lot to give it that "never bottoms out" feel. I never ran mine with stock rear springs. If you ever tow or haul any weight, you will want stiffer springs, stock is really soft. This truck honestly rides great with a trailer or the hitch hauler on it. I don't mind how mine rides, but I am picky and if I kept the truck, I'd probably try to revalve the fronts to be stiffer, get some 1000 lb/in coils, and revalve the rears with a bit of comp free bleed or an early crossover to compensate for the spring stiffness. Or drop down to a softer spring pack.
