Love this video! I most definitely need to do this flip kit on my 83! I've got to get my rear down a little lower. I really don't want to pay the money I've been quoted to get a C-Notch.
Chevrolet & GMC half ton & three quarter ton regular cab pickups were the only models in that generation they stopped producing in 1987. All of the rest of the models were produced up through 1991 except for the one ton regular cab pickups because they stopped producing those in 1989.
I had a 77 square body Silverado short bed I put bell tech spindles and a flip kit for the bank cut two coils off factory springs and 2" blocks it was on the ground I went through two sets of A-Arms it scraped so much the coils pushed out the bottom A-Arms got that thin it ripped up reflectors on the highway when changing lanes other than bottoming out it didn't bounce like heating coils and removing leaf spring
"They" tell me this also works exactly the same on G-10 vans. I'm fixing to find out! Was debating drop spindles, but if this works fine I'd rather go this way. And if it don't, I'm only out two stock springs...
hey man love the content, on a 255/60/15 would you recommend cutting 2 coils? Want to go a little just a little lower. Btw been watchen for awhile and love the s10 your building for mini nats.
Try the Kimball Midwest Torq CB….you will never use WD-40 again…unfortunately for me these things show up from customers the day I’m starting on them so I don’t get a lot of time to soak them
Great job...Question why Monroe up front And belltech nitro at the rear? Also those silver line belltech performance any better...And there was no need for a mini bumpstop..? Safety perhaps. Great budget!
The silver Belltech shocks are more bouncy to me I just prefer the ride of the drop 2s…I got the Monroe’s local I why I run those…I usually run drop 2s front and rear
I want to do my 85 GMC the same. i want to use all the same Nitro 2 drop shocks. Summit shows 8000 8007 8017. Someone else used 8005 for 2" drop. Which do I need for 3" drop? And what torque spec for U bolts, some people are stripping threads. Thanks, video was great.
I followed all directions. Works well. Question how do you orient the u bolts. If one side is angled back versus forward does it matter at all? I had to do this so I had clearness on the nut for the rear shocks.
The flip kit I used had a notch for the left side shock bolt…some kits don’t so you can cut the bolt alittle shorter or buy a bolt short enough to work
Any chance you could take a couple ride height measurements for me? On flat/level ground.....from the ground to the bottom of the frame below the front cab mount...and from the ground to the bottom of the frame at the rear crossmember (by the rear bumper brackets)? I would greatly appreciate it!
I see you used a Monroe spectrum shocks 37049 for your drop, question if I used a 2”coil spring and a 3” spindle will this shocks works as well for the 5” drop
Question for you: I’ve got a 5/7 drop kit from IHC suspension for my 2015 crew cab Silverado. Rear was 7 inches dropped spot on but the front only dropped 3.5 inches. I talked to them about it, email pictures and alignment paper work and they couldn’t find the cause of it. So if I cut the spring coil I guess the truck will lower a bit more right? So the question will be how much do I have to cut the coil to get the 1.5 that I need. Thank you in advance for your help.
So if you watch the Lowered or Lifted video on the white Chevy it was the same way….installed their 5 inch arms and it only went down like 3 inches so we ended up putting drop spindles on it also
Did you have to flip the pin for the leaf springs? I got the same Amazon kit but the forward hole doesn’t fit over the pin. Think I’ll be ok if I drill it out a bit?
Great job bro first truck I dropped on my own was my 95 f150 and it was pain dealing with them ibeams but the flipkit was cake and didn't need a cnotch. Now I have a 99 obs suburban I want to lower this same way cut coils and flip kit but will I need a cnotch for it? It has a raise up before the rear axel it's wierd to explain just let me know if it possible to do with out a cnotch thanks in advance!
Thanks guys I'll make a video of the process havnt found not one video on TH-cam of one being done planing on just a 3/5 drop nothing crazy low cuz I like big wheels
shocks for front end? already bought the one you used but want the fron ones.part number that I've got from ebay its 8005. its for a range of 0"-3" drop. you recommend those?
Man on my obs I just cut a coil and a half out of the front, done a flip kit and notch in the rear with a 1” shackle, new front and rear oe spectrum shocks for a 67 Impala (same lengths as the belltech drop shocks but softer valving) and it rides like absolute garbage. I’m thinking the front and rear are either both riding on or almost on the bump stops. Any recommendations?
Grab some Nitro Drop 2 drop shocks for it….the front that’s a lot of coil to cut on an OBS…I’d say grab some spindles and 1-2inch drop coils and try that
@@lowerclassfab431 I have a 84 C10 short bed 2wd, I'm planning to put US Mags 20x10 in the back with 275/40/20 And 20x8.5 in front with 245/40/20. Do you have any idea if they rubbing on the fender well when turning?

Yessir I own a 91 square body crew cab dually you can find a few videos of it on the channel…also the convertible suburban in one video is an 89 model

You just ran stock shocks and shackles on rear ? I have an 87 r10 … and I’m so happy to have found this video. Really did it wanna spend 500 on a kit.
Stock shackles and drop shocks…it shows the part number for shocks in video I don’t remember the part number off top of my head
"They" tell me this also works exactly the same on G-10 vans. I'm fixing to find out! Was debating drop spindles, but if this works fine I'd rather go this way. And if it don't, I'm only out two stock springs...
Cut my springs a coil and a half. Sits perfect . 👌🏽
Hell yea that’s what we like to see💪
Some good info here,now all I need is a truck.
Gotta 88 r10 suburban I wished I could have ya finish up. Bagged the front and flipped the rear but still wanna lay the rear on the ground.

So much better 🙌🏼
I recommend WD-40 the rear bolt nuts 1 or 2 days before.

@@georgefrancis3767 yessir will work just fine
@@lowerclassfab431 thank you for your help and for responding
Thank you for the video. Would this be a 4/5 drop?
Fronts more in the neighborhood of 3 inches of drop

@Halfass_garage yes just drill it out alittle....I have to do a ton like this just don't go to big you might get some clunking
@@lowerclassfab431 Awesome thank you!
Nice I’m looking to do the same thing to mine. Question. Will this work with 26 in wheels. Also where did you purchase the parts?
No sir the 22s rub alittle in front…..got the flip kit off Amazon….front shocks at oreillys and rear shocks from Summit racing
@@lowerclassfab431 what would you recommend? I think the flip kit would work just not sure about the front.
I think you would be fine in the back on 26s and could go alittle lower in front but not this low….maybe half a coil
Great job bro first truck I dropped on my own was my 95 f150 and it was pain dealing with them ibeams but the flipkit was cake and didn't need a cnotch.

@David Ramirez.
Recommend c notch so you don’t bang axle to frame routinely.
Yes on that body style you will definitely need a notch
Thanks guys I'll make a video of the process havnt found not one video on TH-cam of one being done planing on just a 3/5 drop nothing crazy low cuz I like big wheels
Good video, what did the labor cost?
@@vicentezarate-torres8006 $400 on those
That truck is way to nice to rig it by lowering that way definitely since a lowering kit for that truck is cheap as shit
Belltech kit is $1000….this was 1/4 that price and rides literally identical
Nice truck I need one
Where are you located. can you shorten my 84 from a long bed to short bed ??
I purchased the Amazon flip kit and shock extender for my rear. Will that work too or do I need to buy nitro drop shocks?
It should work
shocks for front end? already bought the one you used but want the fron ones.part number that I've got from ebay its 8005. its for a range of 0"-3" drop. you recommend those?
I used a stock replacement from Oreillys but those drop 2 shocks should work just fine
@@lowerclassfab431 the reason Im askimg its because Im put in 2" drop coil springs.
@@edgarcamacho4819 yes those shocks will work just fine
Thank you.
What about the front? What did you use on the front.
Can you guess how much of cutting the front coil drops a truck? 1 full coil cut - would you say would equal say 2" drop?
One coil should be around 2 inches
@@lowerclassfab431 Thank you!

Would anything be different on a long bed truck or can you just do it the same way
You can do the same
Will this still work for an 86 c30 single rear wheel
How far are you from Illinois Chicago
Do you happen to have the part number for the Amazon rear kit?
Great job. Link to the wheels?
I’m not sure where he got them but it a US Mag C-Ten wheel
Just did that flip kit on my 74 and sits lower any recommendations to raise it a couple inches
Does it have all the leaf springs?
What did you use to get the bolts out the bump stop
They are rivets I used my plasma but you can grind the head of the bolts off
Are all 4 wheels the same width or are the rear wheels wider. Are they 22x9 or 22x10
I think these were 9.5 and 10.5
Where y'all at? I got a 79 needing work done
Baxley Georgia
How much did u lower the front?
Hey, i noticed your left turn signal indicator is staying on. Mine is doing that too, any idea why?
This was a Customers truck….I never made it past the lowering job so sorry I can’t help with that
Why not use the Nitro Drop shocks on the front?
You can we just didn’t on this one
Did you have to remove the front bump stops?
Yes
How did you remove the rear bump stops?
I used my plasma cutter but you can print the head of rivots off with grinder and knock it off with a hammer
What kit did you use wanting to do the same for my 84
Does the front tires rub when turning?
Slightly but a 4lb hammer can move that metal out the way😂😂
Is the 2/5 drop
What about pinion angle?
The flip kits get them real close but might have to adjust them with shims….this one was good to go and didn’t need any adjusting
Would this work on a 78 C20?
Yes and no…the rear leaf springs are different and you would most likely need a notch…
Would this work with 15 inch wheels?
Yes most definitely
Thanks for the reply and what drop would that equal to? 4/6 or 3/5?
in another comment, he said 3/5
Do you have to remove all 4 bump stops?
Yes

Why did you ruin that nice truck by lowering it , smh
Real easy fix put new coil springs in it and reverse the rear under spring set up. Not ruined at all.
