I've heard that from others too. Cragar doesn't mind making wheels to spec, but you have to go through a vendor. I heard its only like $40 per wheel to change backspacing

off topic question i got my lowering system in today and didnt realize i had 2" lowering shackles in the rear and got the djm 6" flip. my boss said if i use the shackles with the flip kit its going down a total of 8" anyone with experience with can justify his thinking if so will the c notch provided be enough of clearance for me to leave it there?? and to level it back out can i just cut a coil off my factory springs in the front???

also if i leave the rear at 8 can i just cut off a coil on the front to go down to 6 on the front???? my only worries with the rear going down to 8 is that it will hit the c notch if someone can help me out it would be appreciated.... id love to do it 6/8 just dont know if its possible or safe

I would do spindles up front. Take a second and do some searching. There has to be a ton of threads on flip kits out there.

ive already got the djm 4" lowering control arms and like the design of them way better than dealing with the hassle of spindles so....

Depends on which c-notch you have. The Belltech isn't as deep as the DJM or McGaughy's to my knowledge, but I have no issues with mine at 8"
