Hey was pricing out suspension lowering kits/parts and came across these flip kits from Summit. I haven't done anything but put in aftermarket springs, struts, and shocks before so I don't really know what to look for in these kits. I understand whats going on in a flip kit but like I said, don't know what to look for. Any advice on these or something else would be great.

They are all pretty much the same, I have used both of those before.
One kit looks like it has shock extenders the other not
One kit has a frame C-notch (I recommend them on a flip) the other not.
-
What kit would you recommend? One of these or any other? Not looking to go cheap but don't have ton of funds.
-
Either is fine but I would get a C-notch (or make my own) and shock extenders with flip kits.
-
I hear ya on making them but just short a welder. Where do you get material from that you use to fab brackets and such? I used to do alot of fab and tig welding when I worked in Fort Lauderdale, but since I moved north don't know where to find anything here.
-
I was only talking about making the C-notch. I generally use 6" pipe (sch80), the extenders are so cheap I just pay for them.

Dont have any pictures of set up do you?
