Thanks buddy, you'll be the first to know if I start chuckin' parts!
Well, on Saturday I started the install of the flip kit in the rear. I spent about half-an-hour hammering bolts, getting rust/dirt in my hair, wrestling the leaf springs off, and laying on my creeper just looking at everything. I took the leafs off, left her on the jack stands with the rear pumpkin laying on the ground and took a break to go out with my friends.
On Sunday, I mustered up the courage to attempt the install of the flip kit again.. 10 minutes in, I decided my time was better spent driving to the beach, sip on some whiskey, and lay in the sand next to some beautiful gals. When I got back later in the day I was in a much better mood and finished the flip kit.
It really wasn't that hard to do, I just got lazy and it took me two days
The brand is Western Chassis, and it went on smoothly. The instructions looked thorough but, seriously, I didn't read them. The hardest part was getting the old U-bolts off. When my blow-torch crapped out on me and my PB blaster didn't work, I used a die grinder to get those beezies off. I'm very satisfied with the flip, but I still need to cut my bump stops and get new shocks because mine are shot. Check out how that gap changed!
