Ride will be great. Flip kit gives you near identical suspension quality on the rear end, as you are basically just relocating the axle. IMO, the Belltech front springs are very good. They don't have the rigid properties of the stock springs so a lot of the little bumps and rough spots on the road are absorbed a bit better than with your stock coils, giving you a much smoother overall ride.

what bout price is that good or do u know where i can look for cheaper and will installation be a we are going to rent a spring compressor and i have the tool for the bushings if i could get someone to explain installation that would be great thanx justin

We (buddies and I) lowered 5 or 6 trucks without using spring compressors.

Just put the front end on jack stands, then jacked the lower a-arm a tiny amount to remove the stress on the spindle, pulled the spindle off and then slowly lowered the jack. The spring will just fall out.

There are pictures of my truck in the "my gallery" link under my user name and on the Intro Wheels website here

That's how I did mine.

Yes you need a C notch, the flip kit should come with one. You also need new shocks all around since stock and lowering shocks are valved different and your are changing ride height.

And for the best price/ride quality combination I've found, I would order some Doetsch Tech shocks from Mac's Spring

can someone take a look at my trucks pics and tell me a best drop number for it.. No use in lifting it since its only 2 wd, I decide to drop it and get rid of that stupid 'back-end-higher-than-front-end" look..

[IH8FORD]

if it was me i would go with a 4-6

4-6 drop is nice for a daily driver.

Do you know how much they charge for these? Sport Truck Direct charges about $100 shipped per pair.

[Beyond Static©]

I paid 103 shipped for mine from mac's spring. They are for sale also

How about a 4/6 drop with a set of 20x9.0 wheels with a set of 275/45/R20s mounted on?? Are they going to rub any at all, especially in turns or big bumps?? Everyone here seems to know a lot about drops from 4/6 and lower, and I really want the 4/6, but need to know if my wheels and tires are going to rub any at all?? Thanks
