Using a 2" drop shackle is a given.

Does anyone sell a drop hanger to get the extra drop?

It seems Belltech's hanger has more to do with correcting geometry after the flip. I thought Maxtrac had one but I can't see to find it anymore. Mcgauphys....well good luck trying to get them to part with anything other than their full kit. Any ideas?

I figure whats the real reason to flip as long as you can get the spring up. I can understand a flip more if you are going with a full on notch.

I was thinking same and was looking at springs they make a drop leaf for earlier model like 08 that part of truck looks the same I just need to measure them but why not a re arched spring both my 95 and 03 lightning both came from Ford like that

Glad I am not the only one...I am not opposed to a flip it just seems unnecessary for 5" and under.

I just spoke with Detroit spring they can make a set 3'"drop but there 600 but I'm going to keep investigating cause I believe we can get cheaper

Found another company 770 for a pair custom built leaf possibly 4" drop he can't tell me about ride but they would be flatter spring with same load rate

I was only wanting 4" and I have the flip kit but been holding off thinking about this. I might go with a 2" spring and 2" shackle and sell the flip as far as a core no but shipping ,they have are factory specs then build custom set

Check out alcon spring they make them custom to your specs softer, firmer,towing,hauling you tell him what you want he picks out the proper spring steel and custom makes your personal set I spoke to owner he can do it but 770 a pair .

I phoned around here locally and the shops will de-arch my factory springs for $100. So its either take mine in($100) or buy OEM and take them in ($800) this Canadian funny money.
