1966 DJM flip kit for GMC
 
Hey y'all was curious to if anyone has used this flip kit on a 64-66' gmc?
http://djmsuspension.com/product/fk1012-5/

It says 68-72, but don't know what would be different in a 64-66 kit, mine does have the 2.25 leaf springs so was curious if it would work for a 66? If not where can I find a 66 flip kit with 2.25 leaf springs? Thanks.

I think DJM has the flip kit for the 63-66 including the C notch.
Like you, I'm wanting to do a flip kit. Only, I want to put my 14 bolt from my 74 under my 65 C30 panel. I'm going to call their tec guys.

If anyone has done a rear end change like this let me know.

End up doing this? Looking at the same route on mine, so curious if it works or not.

I did actually use their kit, and it did end up working with some slight modification to make it center the wheel well of the truck better.

However i did end up taking it out, and going the re welding brackets onto the rear end route due to the fact my pinion angle was not were it was suppose to be. Im not certain if it was just my truck and combo or if it would happen to everyone. But it did work, and it did seem like some solid metal that let you flip the rear end in a decent amount of time.

Thanks for the info! That's the problem I'm having with my current setup as well, but I believe the kit I currently have is a 73-87 setup, so it's for the wider springs and bigger axles. Probably easier to swap to the djm kit than to try and modify everything I've currently got.
