My cousin has a truck like yours,it’s yellow though. We did a pro street look,& was fairly simple. We took the driver’s side leaf springs and relocated them on the inside of the passenger side frame using the same hole’s. Moved the passenger side leaf springs and hanger’s to the driver’s inside of frame. We removed that cross brace temporarily till front hangers were bolted in then welded the cross brace behind the hangers for strength. The flip kit you have is still used just replace leaf springs mounting locations. He was able to use a 15x15 rim with a tall tire inside the fender well and talk about looks badazz too. You do have to modify the bed for wider tubs after you select your tire size but till then we ran it with no tubs just a home made plywood bed cover for a lil weight back there. Y’all have the tools now to make that truck hook on dirt,lol.
Wow, my 83 GMC rear axle set up is different from yours… I don’t have the bushings that you sawed off. I’m also in the process of dropping my rear end. And my axle U bracket don’t have the C notch in it, it’s just a U shape with out the curve
I know this is a couple yrs old. But I would personally weld the flip kit to the axle after setting the pinion angle. I wouldn't trust the axle not to rotate back and forth.
Nice build! I'm currently building the same truck. I love the 15x10 Rally's in the rear. Do you know if these were a factory option or aftermarket? I've done plenty of research and nothing is coming up with the 15x10...
Thanks for the reply. I kinda figured and thought I'd ask. I currently have the 5x8 rallys and I'm about to swap my rear end as well but with an 8.8 LSD 410 gears. I'm going to need to make up for the few inches I'm losing going with the 8.8 swap.....
Good video my friend .. did you have to Cut driveshaft If you did how long is it after you lower down Can you please let me know thank you for your time
Thanks I appreciate it! I actually had to get it made 1.5 inches longer because of the 9 inch rear end being different from the original 10 bolt rear end
Hey my friend I have a question about your lowering kit for the front and rear How many inches. Can you please let me know.. I’m looking to Lower my but I’m looking for it to be level Thanks for your time sorry To bother you
arod obs Thanks! I was just watching your video 🤣 bet you glad you fixed that switch panel, it was probably annoying riding around with it hanging out 🤣🤙

Yeah I have a buddy that done the same thing. I’m gonna leave it unless a 28 10.5 doesn’t fit.
I’m pretty sure a 28x10.5 fit’s like it belongs there. You might have to lower the rear even more to stay level.
Cool video! It’s nice to see how it worked out
Cool I like how you. Got gas tank same
Setup 👍 like that
That rear is really sweet.
Thanks man!
great channel Roberts Garage sent me over

I’m doing this on my c10 and also have a play in the new spring mounts. Did you end up welding them in or just left them?
I left them for now, haven't had any problems. But I probably will when I get some slicks on it!
I know this is a couple yrs old. But I would personally weld the flip kit to the axle after setting the pinion angle. I wouldn't trust the axle not to rotate back and forth.
Yeah definitely a good idea. I’m planning on some upgrades in the near future and plan on welding them when I’m doing it.🤙
Ed,how wide are the wheels you are using on the back,I know the tires are 295 60 15. All the tires I find are 295 50 15.
There 295/50/15 tires on 15x10 rims. Thanks for watching!✌️

Thanks man! They’re after market, I bought them from Summit Racing years ago. I don’t think they sell them anymore though.

Daniel Viorato it’s a McGaughy’s 4.5/6 lowering kit. 4.5 in the front and 6 in the rear.
@@EdsGarage99 does that make it even or does it make it a little lower in the front? Because I’m looking to make it even. Thank you!
You didn't put different shuckle s in the back leaves
Nice job 👍sucks you have to cut on the frame only thing but eveything looks good
Thanks! ✌️
