I have used both companies in the past for all different kinds of trucks. The dim flip kit for the f150 is just absolute garbage. It will work, but I had nothing but pinion shake and dog tracking since I put it on. Having to remove an axle locater pin from the leaf pack to install it was pretty dumb also.

Which one looks safer to you?

WAY BAD

I completely agree with you! I've used Belltech since the late 80's, and have had nothing but great fittment and hardware. Used a DJM kit just to see what the difference was, and NEVER AGAIN! It rode like poo, and was not near the product Belltech is.

Belltech FTW!!

But... Doesn't DJM have a 4" rear flip kit, and Belltech only has a 5" or 5.5" flip kit??

ive been using a mix also for people for years now. Belltech flip (for those that want the belltechs) and then the djm 1 inch front lifting hanger.

Its a 4.5 drop and take off the front hanger if you go lower later for 5 inches.

This is for people that want the option to slam it later but for now keep it at a higher level which has worked out fine. Since 2004 of lowering the 04 up trucks on the rear djm kit I only had one problem which was a wrong weld which DJM took care of no questions asked. Jeff, Mark and Mike are good people to deal with there.

I just think its a very crappy design.

Looking at that djm flip makes me sick!!! I can't believe i used that piece of crap as long as I did ...(2 months) ... I don't usually talk too much crap about different products, but that design is seriously horrible... Belltechs looks nice and simple..

I have djm and it do the job very well.
Plus you can adjust the pinion angle whitout having to put shim.
No pinion shake: and the truck still work hard pulling my 7000lbs toy hauler.

On my ex ranger. I made a belltech style bracket and it worked well too.

It just 2 different design and both work well.

Hey Maxpat, how much of a drop do you have on your truck?? What kind of truck? I am looking at lowering my truck as well, but I also tow a 6-7k lb trailer weekly, and want to make sure I don't compromise that... Thanks
