    Sweet Truck! What's the drop on your truck? I've only dropped mine in the rear 3" but plan a 3-4 total drop. Those pic's got me going!!!Got to get mine finished!

    I started to use a flip, wasn't sure. But looking at yours I may have to reconsider, How drive/ride friendly is it?

    Mine rides and drives fine, have not bottomed out yet, but I don't drive it much and I drive slow.

    Yeah, I modded up a hidden hitch, so don't think that will work for me. I love the look, but need to be able to pull a small trailer from time to time. I guess I could add some air helper springs if i go that route. What kind of shocks do you run in the rear?

    So on your flip did you use the kind they sell on eBay that look like a C bracket?

    I think I bought the djm kit, but you can use the ebay ones, they are the same thing just no shock extenders(which I did not use anyway)
    If I were to do it again, I'd save a few bucks and get the ebay kit.
