You need to change over to the 04-08 brakes to do it

 

oh, i see, thanks for the clarification.... trying to help my buddy save some $$$

 

struts should be here tmrw and rear flip kit will be on its way soon. Hope it all works out. Will post pics when i do

 

 

when u gonna make a sticky for the 09+? since you got a new whip!

 

Hopefully soon, found out a lot when I lowered mine. Been busy putting in grass at my house.

 

Ok, got all the parts minus a few bolts from the djm flip kit that I got from someone else on here. Another question; In the instructions it say nothing about the rear. Do I use the stock shackles? or were did I not get the whole kit? I'd like to work on this tomorrow

 

Depends on how low you are going. The flip kit alone will drop you 6". For a 5" drop you need the 1" lifting shackle. For 4" drop you will need the 2" lifting hanger. So only the 5" drop requires a different shackle than stock.

 

im a totaly noob so please be gentle with me....

2014 xl single cab short bed 2wd here...

can you make me the best kit possible? i want drag the truck so i need a stif rear. traction bar if it possible too... thanks

 

hmm any one with the information please?

 

Finally got a good picture just wish it was sunny

 

@patatewz: you'll probably get more help if you create your own thread and explain yourself better

 

Sorry, haven't been on lately. Patatewz, I have a 4.5 Front drop on my 2013 with Belltech drop struts and Eibach 04-08 coils. As for the rear if you want stiff, you need to change leafs, and stay away from a flip kit, and I believe McGaughys makes them for the 09 and up trucks. Then of course traction bars will help. For a 4"drop about 6" drop will make you level in the rear, which I would reccomend a C notch

 

Great looking truck. What lowering kit are you using?

 

From his signature and his posts in this thread, he has Belltech struts in the front set to 2" drop and a DJM flip kit, I assume with lift hangers for a 4" drop.
