Diy axle flip kit

usaf2006 · Aug 30, 2014

Ive been looking around and cant find any good sites showing a write up or list of supplies.
Redtruck-va you once told me you can do it with trailer parts, but I was too scared at the time. Could you elaborate now? If you have time.

Flip kits are pretty basic. ie the axle is moved from below the axle to above the axle. You will need two leaf spring perches. And four U bolts to fit the new configuration. The spring center mounting hole on the perch will need to be relocated foreword about 9/16" moving the axle rearward to keep the drive shaft from bottoming in the trans. The stock shackles will give about a 6" drop. Shocks will need to be replaced or shock mount extensions used. When you have everything aligned to your satisfaction have the perches welded to prevent movement/ axle twist. Others are welcomed to contribute, as it's been a while since I have worked on a flip kit. If you look at this google you can see several picture with the axle located above the spring.
