Title: FLIPPING REAREND WITH CAL-TRACS
Post by: BIG RED 1983 on August 26, 2015, 07:29:20 pm

I NEED EXPERIENCED ADVICE ON HOW TO FLIP THE REAREND WITH THE USE OF CAL-TRACS. I KNOW CALVERT 3204 IS THE CAL-TRACS PART NUMBER I WILL USE HOWEVER I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO USE TO DROP IT. THE TRUCK IS A LONG BED AND WILL RUN 12'S WHEN I AM DONE. I NEED WHATEVER I USE TO BE OF REALLY GOOD QUALITY. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Any flipkit will work, but I would stick with good quality name brands with the saddle on them.  Belltech or Western Chassis is what I use.
If you are going to be drag racing it, I would consider researching better springs that what was designed to carry a load in the bed...

This is the Caltracs you need...

I APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE. I THINK INSTEAD OF USING A FLIP KIT I WILL JUST USE LIKE COMPETITION ENGINEERING SPRING PERCHES AND WELD THEM TO THE REAREND HOUSING.
