I have an Nbs crew cab with a flip kit and I ended up putting in 3/4 ton springs and absolutely love how it rides. I didn’t want to go the route of helper bags and dealing with all of that but needed a firmer ride. I’m happy with how it turned out.
New HD springs? Or whered you get em? I feel the rest needs some more spring but I didn't want to spend the money for a single leaf or the super sport springs
Motorcycle Jacks are awesome for removing gas tanks, transmission and t case. makes everything easier just a thought. great videos though love how clean your work is✌
@@TWAMotorsports yes it is. I have that same cateye but with hd front end and over here in texas the truck scene is really big you should check out the shows down here 👍🏼
Abas Abas did you go with a normal c notch? Or did you get the monster notch? I’m planning on doing a 4/10 on mines but I’m wondering what notch would be good.
Great detailed vid, I've been into trucks or anything like that since the 90s man so many companies out there these days for anything, still trying to decide who's kit I'm going to use on my recently purchased 04 SB. Hitting the junkyard tomorrow for the Suburban console found a matching tan set up thanks to ur vids
I love how you did this video layout also the lack of music feesl comforting. Unlike other TH-camrs who have some sort of background music going on constantly, kinda drives me nuts. Anyways love the NBS content especially when its someone else's truck, keep it up man!!
I had that same flip kit but the shackles on it where already a "leveled" so i had to do the dame thing. Put stock shackles in to bring the rest back up. No Chevy lean though!
Glad I came across your channel. Been binge watching for a few days now. Can’t help but notice your driveway is the opposite of mine, you have all GM cars, I have all Fords in mine lol
Thanks for this video👍 I just pay someone profesional to put it 2/4 drop on my Silverado 97 after all I notice there is giving me 18 inches in the passenger side back bumper and 19 on the left also by the tires side the numbers are different. My question is do this need to be level or that’s normal? Thanks in advance
There is a company that makes a drop kit that corrects the lean. The reason it leans is the spring perches in the factory a-frames are higher on one side. The 4/6 drop kit I saw replaces upper and lower a-frames and you reuse your factory springs. IHC is the company
Man I’m hoping you can help me. I have really bad squeaking in the back after doing a flip kit. Can I loosen up the shackle bolts while the truck is on the floor and then torque them down?
So i got a 03 Silverado SS Awd, with 2"/2" drop, 2" drop spindles in front, and 2" drop shakels in back, want to go 4" drop on the back, was told to get the stock shakels installed and get a flip kit so i can get the 4" drop on back. Do u think it will work and, Do i need a to do a c notch.
Hi Great how to videos. I just bought a 2006 Chevy extended cab that already been dropped. What am trying to figure out is how much it had been lowered so that i can order the correct shocks. is there a center of wheel to fender lip measurement that i can go off of. Many Thanks
I have a flip kit in my rear with a lowering kit I got from RC but the guys that did the work installed a 2” lowering shackle I had laying around that didn’t come with the kit. It seems that 2” shackle is defeating the purpose cause I don’t see much difference. I’ve been told to use the stock shackle instead to get the correct drop t even a lift shackle for more drop since the leafs are flipped. Is it difficult to do that swap on the shackles only? Do I need to remove everything?
I know this is old but I can't seem to find an answer. Can someone explain to me the difference between the McGaughy's and ridetech streetgrip kit (minus the shocks). Thank you for your time and help. Awesome channel.
I want to install the stock front leaf spring hangers on my truck, for the driver side I first plan on driving the truck until it is at 1/4 or a little less of 1/4 tank to drop the tank but my question is can I just remove the tank brackets and lower the tank a little and scoot it over just to where I can get the wrench inside to loosen the nuts or do I have to disconnect something on top of the fuel pump before lowering the tank?
There are 2 and 3” lowering leafs, why didn’t you just add a lowering leaf to the hanger relocation kit? Asking because I have a 4” hanger kit and I want to go 5-7” same as you did here, just wondering what you think about those lowering leafs
Saw it looks badass but wat is the tire size on that cat eye been thinkn about putting those wheels from my other truck to my dropped truck please answer thanks bro
Why didn't you use the hangers with the flip kit? I wanna put a flip kit on my Z71 and possibly use lowering hangers an shackles with the flip kit for lowering even more. Then use air bags on the axel to get up to ride heighth.
hey man happy 4th i wanted to ask what you used to make the hole bigger for the original hanger. recently did a flip kit and had the hanger and shackle and drive shaft went bye bye because of the angle.
I have a new flip kit and noticed the hole in the saddle is big enough to fit over the pin in the leaf springs. Has your friend had any problems with not flipping the pin? Thank you.
What brand of flip kit do use i have 99 dodge ram 1500 want do flip kit want do 4/6 drop but every one i talk to say djm is the best kit what u think i need some help plz
I know it’s an old video but idk if u can help me Do u still need to install shock relocation brackets if u buy 5-7 lowering shocks? I did a flip kit and bought lowering shocks but no brackets
Hey what kit do you recommend I have a 2010 Silverado Ltz 2wd I would like to drop 2in front and 4 in rear it has the big gaps in wheel weld looks ugly
Just got a stock height 2010 Silverado reg cab work truck with the 4.8 engine. I just wanna lower the rear maybe 5” to level with the front. How should I go about it? Couple of things I noticed. My rear hangars are fully welded on, not riveted. All I’m seeing online are 2” drop shackles which don’t seem like enough by themselves.
after doing some research it appears to me that a flip kit and rear lift hangers will provide the best adjustment option, lift shackles come in half inch sizes as well and it appears to me that a flip kit with this setup can get you 4, 5, or 6 inch drop adjustment by using different size lift shackles on the hangers - I rarely ever see this done or see the rear hangers installed (everyone changes the front hangers)but its looks like best option to me@@TWAMotorsports
Ok I hope you can help me plz !!! Where can I find the stock hangers I doing the same on my truck switching the drop ones to stock but can’t find them anywhere
Im assuming this is the same procedure for a 2500. But ive heard you might have to take a leaf out of the pack? Havent seen any installs on any HD trucks so just wondering
So he's at a 8" rear with the flip & shakles. Does he bottom out on the notch often? Because mine does at 8". I have the same truck using same shocks. Hoping if I raise it 1" on the shakles that will help me not bottoming out
I have a question what’s the reason why you changed the hangers? Is it because it till be too low or is it because it wouldn’t hit with the flip kit because right now I have the hangers and shackles and I’m looking to do a flip kit to go low low in the back and I was wondering what is the reasoning on the stock hangers being put back on thank you
Im in some kind of trouble, I recently installed McGaughys 2in drop spindles and I can’t fit a set of 17’ anyone know what I can do. The issue is the bolt at the bottom of the spindle is to long, do I cut it or have to get a new rubber bushing?
I have an 05 Silverado, i also installed shock extenders from belltech and they only came with one long bolt and a tube washer that goes in the original shock holes, and didn't require makin that back hole🤔, might be different from this one but ur link says won't fit my 2 wheel drive 05 Silverado.

Sometimes they have a chevy lean. I sometimes trim some off the front string opposite side.
There is a company that makes a drop kit that corrects the lean. The reason it leans is the spring perches in the factory a-frames are higher on one side. The 4/6 drop kit I saw replaces upper and lower a-frames and you reuse your factory springs. IHC is the company
I don't recommend IHC. Buyer beware
5/7 drop is the way to go
I completely agree
How do I know if they used a drop coil or if I have drop spindles I'm trying to find out the difference
Look at both with the wheel off
I did a flip kit and driver side lower than the other side
Common issues
I needed this!!!!! A Silverado! I know same one as the Sierra but still lol
Lol
I have an 03 single cab silverado what's the lowest you can go in the rear before a notch is needed?
HouseLightweight 6” or lower you need a c notch
Man I’m hoping you can help me. I have really bad squeaking in the back after doing a flip kit. Can I loosen up the shackle bolts while the truck is on the floor and then torque them down?
Yes you should always torque with weight on them
What are those wheels called
Stock gm wheels off like 07 z71 tahoe
So i got a 03 Silverado SS Awd, with 2"/2" drop, 2" drop spindles in front, and 2" drop shakels in back, want to go 4" drop on the back, was told to get the stock shakels installed and get a flip kit so i can get the 4" drop on back. Do u think it will work and, Do i need a to do a c notch.
Yes you need a notch. Stock shackle and flip kit is 6 inches of rear drop
Thank you for this video I love you bro 💯💯 really helpful 👍🏽
Glad I could help
I was hoping to see the tire size just did 4/6 and my tires don’t fit no more trying to get idea what’s a good size and seen how good the stance looks
Not my truck

If you juat loosen straps you can move over enough without removing
My trucks stance is hella stock. Whats better drop shackles or the flip kit to go the lowest i want
Flip for 6to8 in rear
Where can I find stock front hanger??? For a 03 cateye??
Salvage yard
Do I need shock extenders?or do I need to but shorter shocks? To do the flip kit
I generally do both
Question... is it positively to flip a GMC Cierra on a Chevy silverado?? That's what I want to do
Not sure what you mean
What if he opted to use the stock rear shackle as opposed to the drop shackle to get that little bit of lift in the rear to not bottom out so quick?
It would be 6 inch drop then
Which part keeps pinion angle? Bc my truck hops after flip kit when doing burnout
That isn't pinion angle doing that. You need caltracs

Sup Travis. Thinking about doing the same putting stock hangers back and flip kit. If you remember whatd u torque the bolts for stock hangers to? Thx
Front ones were riveted so just as tight as I could
Awesome info...
Thank you sir
Saw it looks badass but wat is the tire size on that cat eye been thinkn about putting those wheels from my other truck to my dropped truck please answer thanks bro

Won't work. And would ride terribly. Pinion angle would be way out also

Motor swap since it's a v6
Can you use the stock u bolts on a 6” flip kit?
Depends on manufacturer
hey man happy 4th i wanted to ask what you used to make the hole bigger for the original hanger. recently did a flip kit and had the hanger and shackle and drive shaft went bye bye because of the angle.
I didn't make any holes bigger
Like your videos , what kit would I need to lower my 05 crew cab Silverado 2/4 drop
I like mcgaughys
I have a new flip kit and noticed the hole in the saddle is big enough to fit over the pin in the leaf springs. Has your friend had any problems with not flipping the pin? Thank you.
Not that I know of.
What drop does just doing the flip kit give you? I'm using the 5/6 adjustable rear flip kit from maxtrac.
6 without shackles in back
Only improvement you should do is to use a level ground for the before and after shot
I know. I have that now in my shop.
What brand of flip kit do use i have 99 dodge ram 1500 want do flip kit want do 4/6 drop but every one i talk to say djm is the best kit what u think i need some help plz
I have never lowered a dodge but I like mcgaughys
Do you need shock extenders if you have drop shocks?
I think so
How much are helper bags thks
Links in other videos description where I also installed them
On the shock extenders why did you have to drill a hole in ?
It's for mounting
Thanks bro really helpfull
You're welcome
Keep working hard buddy you did a great job I'm getting ready to lower my 2016 regular cab I like to get with you on it what kit to use
Thank you. Mcgaughys all the way on that year
What was the point of installing shock relocate?
To get the shocks back to proper angles
I know it’s an old video but idk if u can help me
Do u still need to install shock relocation brackets if u buy 5-7 lowering shocks? I did a flip kit and bought lowering shocks but no brackets
Yes in my opinion to bet the angles correct
If you put helper air bags would it still be the same drop or would it raise it up
Same drop
TWA Motorsports would the truck ride a lot better?
I think it does
Can I use the stock u bolt retainer plates? My flip kit didn’t come with them. I’m concerned
Generally not unless the kit was designed to
Okay so I ordered the plates just to be safe. Can I use my stock bolts? Bolts aren’t provided with the u bolt retainer plates..
Sounds like a terrible quality kit you bought
any suggestions where to get the front leaf spring hangers? i’m not having any luck anywhere
Some aftermarket I believe. Used is about the only option
Do you need shock extenders for a 6inch drop in the rear
In my opinion yes
I have 2 inch shackles on my truck but I want to go lower just 2 more inches what would I need to do (I don’t want hangers)
Not much option for that.

Hello Travis, i have that configuration on my 2002 silverado, Drop front hanger and rear shackles looks good but the ride is terrible has only a couple inches gap for suspension when the truck takes some bump it hits and bounces... do you think it would be a good idea to install the cnotch without the flip kit?
I think you need a notch at 4 inches.
Deff need a notch with any 4” lowering kit in the rear.
I tend to agree
@@TWAMotorsports hi Again, I have a quick q? there's any difference between the c notch on this truck with the one you used on your Sierra? because the c notch on your sierra looks more reinforced and this one looks like a metal plate, thanks

i dropped my 2003 single cab used 1 inch drop springs and 2 inch drop spindles and the rear it has a flip kit and belltech shocks with 2 inch shackles and i have a vibration on the rear does anyone k ow why its vibrating
