Title: another flip kit question..
Post by: shieldscustoms on September 22, 2009, 08:46:43 pm: i have been doing some reading for a while and still not found what i need to know....where should i buy a flip kit from/what brand....i have heard some say it wont mess up the pinion angle that bad, and others say it will....i was told some kits have that factored into the kit...if so which ones is that? i want go go as cheap as i can, but id rather buy one that has a pinion angle correction built into it if thats possible...i dont really care about a c-notch...since i have heard you guys are gettin by without.
i have searched online and looked in ....so far all i can find is a bunch of "cheap looking" high priced kits that say nothing about correcting pinion angle...

im finally gettin a motor together for my project so its time i get the tires/wheels and susp stuff figured out and ordered so i can get it on the road soon! any help will be greatly appreciated! thanks. matt

If you have a long bed, count on shimming it. No kit has this built in.
Typically short beds don't require shims.

I try to be as competitive as I can though. There will be bigger companies that will be cheaper than I am on lowering kits, I can assure you.
