Default Flip KIt

got the DJM flip kit on the rear end of my 00' silverado 2wd. replaced the DJMfront lower control arms with the mccaughey spindle and springs, major improvement in ride. i get real bad wheel hop and i know caltracs are awseome and all that but i think it may be this micky mouse flip kit. i have seen cool threads some of yall have posted on how to make them yourself but time, a place to work on it and a welder are in short supply. my question, is the mccaughey's flip kit much better than the DJM?

For ride quality, a flip kit is a flip kit. Where McGauhys is better in DJM is in the quality of metals and design. It will not ride any differently.

yeah i know the ride quality will not change i just want to get rid of the DJM stuff. the metal plates and brackets just seem cheap, they actually bend slightly when i tighten them with a ratchet. wasnt putting excessive amount of torque on it either. just at my wits end with this wheel hop.
