Has anybody done a 4/7 drop. I have the chance to get a McGaughy spindle/coils for the front and flip kit and shackles for the rear for FREEE!!!

The kit is coming out of a 2010 2wd and I have a 2008 4wd.

Online they say the kit is for 2wd only but I was trying ot see if it would fit in the 4wd.

Thanks

im not a hundred percent sure. i no the rear will work. but the front might not your best bet would be to call the company and see what they say. there might be peaces that don't line up correct but I'm not a hundred percent on that

Thats awesome looking Bumpers!

Quick question, can a rear flip kit be used with shackles?

I already have 2 '' shackles on a rear block removed.

I have no wheel hop and dont want any, does a flip kit add wheel hop??

Just wanna lower the whole truck 2'' more in front and 3'' more in rear.

Drop is on the truck

Belltech Adjustables set at 2"
DJM rear flip/hanger lift with shackles set to 4"

Love the ride thus far, gonna put some Belltech Streets in back in place of the Rancho's that come with the Z71. Need my chin spoiler back on lol.

Before


After
