Nice '68. How come you can't just drive it out?

Oh, and it's "Deuce". 👍

Its a 2019 i picked up in December, its a real 4wd Z71 that has been lowered 4.5" in the front and 5" in the rear. The upper and lower arms are 4130 tubing with bolt in ball joints. In the rear its a flip kit with a helper bag for towing. The kit is made by inez hot rods in texas. Only problem is that the inez kit is set for 3/5, to get the full 4.5 in the front i had to use a drop strut from belltech. With doing the strut and arms i cant get better then 1.5* of camber. Right now it is running 1.5* camber and 5* caster. Tracks great but i have to watch my tire wear

Thanks SOCAL, I was looking at the IHC kit. I know it has the helper bags, but any issues with bottoming without the C-notch?
Also, wheel and tire specs on your set up?

The flip kit gives a 6" drop. They supply a 1" lift shackle to get the 5". Anything past a 5 will need to be notced. The kit eliminates the factory bumpstop. I pull a 27' formula and with 60lbs of bag pressure it is fine. I usually run 30lbs unloaded. When i did the bags i decided to eliminate the t fitting to tie the bag in together, i have 2 complete separate bags and lines. The reason is because with 2 separate lines if i come into a corner i dont have to worry about unloading one bag and loading the other. Separate makes it like having a sway bar.


The tires are 285/50/22, with the ridiculous offset needed on these wheels to clear the caliper it limits the wheel selection. Mine are asante black label 22x10 with +31mm offset.

If your close to havasu or temecula come y and drive it to see if you like it before you order up the parts

Appreciate the offer and thanks for the info. Glad on the notch not being necessary. I wasn't too wild about doing that to the new truck.

End of thread hijack. ;)
