That's a nice and clean "bottom" haha^^^^. Well I'm done with my flip kit , so far so good. Got another question - planning on getting some Belltech spindles ( I think 2400 is a part #). Read a lot about it how they push the wheels out - are those .5 inches really that noticeable? I'm just having hard time picturing it in my head. The reason I want Belltech because that's the only thing Amazon carries ( I deal with them because they sorta local). Just having some difficulties picturing it. Thanks in advance fellas.

Yes the belltech's do push the wheel's out .5 per side, I have 2 truck's running belltech's currently and as long as you figure your backspace correctly and take in to account the added.5 inch you will be fine.

I just checked and Amazon carries DJM also.

Thank you DRAGGIN95. And all that they carry as far as DJM is lower control arms (Amazon).

Hello gentlemen. This is my situation. I have a 94 RCSB Chevy that I am lowering this weekend. I have the DJM spindles, DJM 2" drop coils for the front. I will be running 15x8 rally wheels from an older square body Chevy, so I know that I need to trim the lower control arms (rain gutters). My question is about the rear. Once I notch the frame and support on the bottom side of the bed, and flip the axle on top of the leaf springs, is it necessary to move the axle back 3/4" on the leaf springs to prevent the yoke from stabbing too far into the transmission? I can't find any definate info on this. But I have heard of it happening on a few friends trucks. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys.

All the flip kits I have used had a slightly relocated pin hole just for that reason. It isnt much, but Ive never had any problem.

That's what I was thinking, but wanted to double check before I get into tearing this beast down this weekend. Thank you sir!
