Any flip kit manufacturer will work.  Last set I used was Western Chassis.  Does your truck had the HD springs?

If it had standard springs, it will tend to bottom out on large bumps, so I would recommend one on those.  With HD springs that isn't as likely.

On my truck when i flipped the rearend, I cut out the bumpstop brackets and put in some energy suspension bumpstops that were shorter and i gained back alot of the rearend travel I also had to put pinion shims in my leaf springs(2 degrees).
