So glad you are starting to put some content out on this platform! Been a fan (and customer) of your products for a while now. Even more rad you are in Iowa (like me)
Awesome so glad I found your channel. I just finished filming this weeks video using one of your flip kits on my 87 surburban build, Great Product, worked Awesome. Plan on buying mor for my 3 other c10s lol!!
Rear shock extension needs a crush tube through the factory bolt holes to keep from collapsing the bracket. A cardboard pattern for the c-notch would be a great addition also.
Hey bud, we do include a spacer in our shock relocator kit. Looks like it was hidden behind the leaf spring in our footage. We are also happy to say we are currently going through all of our products so they include detailed color instructions and templates. Thanks for the comment!
Never heard of using the center hole of the flip kit for a 56” spring. The distance from the front eye to the centering pin should be the same on both 52” and 56” springs.
That is correct, the center pin is the same distance if measured from the front leaf spring bushing. Although if you use the offset hole on a 56" spring it will put your tire to far back in the wheel opening. A leaf spring will flatten as weight is applied and with this you need that center hole in the flip kit to get that tire in the opening perfect. We have found that is a 1" difference between using a 52" or 56". Thanks!
@@tinworksfabrication if the center pin is the same distance from the front hanger on both 52” and 56”,… how can the rear axle be 1” farther back on the 56” spring. That doesn’t make sense.
@@lolife999 As a leaf spring flattens it will become longer. The front of a leaf spring is fixed and cant move. The rear has a shackle that pivots, and as weight is applied to the spring it flattens out and moves the axle backwards. We just used the center hole on a 1978 c20 suburban that had 56" springs and the wheel was perfectly centered. Thanks
@@tinworksfabrication yeah I understand the leaf spring getting longer as it flattens out,… but it’s the same distance. The length behind the axles doesn’t affect rear axle placement. The distance from the front hanger to the pin does. I could see stock shackle to drop shackle affecting it, slightly. Love your products.
@@lolife999For reference a 12 inch true length line in a arc is shorter than a 12" true length line in a straight line. Thank you for the support and I am happy to continue this over the phone if you would like. Please give us a call!
Please put the safty guard back on the grinder, it will stop. A: your hands being able to slip into the back of the wheel, B: the wheel flying into you body/hands/face if it shattered. C: stop the sparks flying back at your eyes. The guard does not get in the way of cutting. I have restored cars for 30 years with one fitted. Please don't set a terrible safety example for people on youtube.
Great video man. I don’t know a lot about square bodies and this helped me understand the rear frame. Looks great!

Welding a nut to the carriage bolt works too
Yes, Chevy uses blue locktite on all bed bolts. It's really annoying.
Wow cares…. It’s your truck. You do you bro.
