no oveload on any of the suspension combos. i lost them with the cal-tracs. i set my pinion angle by welding new spring perches to my axle. set the angle and welded these down.

summit. i guess i could list summit part numbers on this thread without links and not get in trouble?

U bolts - SLF-11334 dont need to be that long - i cut them off shorter
spring perch - SUM-720025
shock mount kit - HAL-MT100k

this is for a home made flip kit/shock relocation. welding is required. having an angle finder is required. not a bolt together kit!!! does not include the upper bar for the shock relocation.

whatever you're doing seems to work great! your truck is a good example of what a good 60' will do for your overall times.

factor in the time it will take, and see if it's still worth it. i didnt think twice about buying it all lol. it all looks better than what i would have made too.

and a note for ecsb guys. if you make your own flip kit with this method, you will need to drill the centering pin hole offset from center to push your axle back some and keep your driveshaft happy.
