good idea IMO, I have bent a flip kit bracket before, not bad and never noticed until I went back to stock and looked at the bent POS.

I flipped mine. Horrible idea in my opinion. I have an 04 and I didnt notch the frame if I get on it hard under like 30 it wants to spin cause it bottoms out. Im flipping mine back and doing shackles. Just my .02

Why is the flip a bad idea? Its not the flip kits fault you half assed things and didnt notch your frame.

well wouldnt having the flip kit hurt traction i would think having it stock form with shackles and hangers or lowering leafs flatens out the leafs to put more pressure on the tires just my thought does anyone agree?
