Has anyone lowered their 09-12 f150 2 pc driveshaft with a 4" flip kit without using the carrier bearing kit?
I have a 3" shackle on it right now, so what's another inch ...
Let me know If any of u guys have

 

Std,Ext or Crew Cab?

 

Crew

 

The Belltech flip kit lowers the 09+ Crew 5.5". It comes with a 1/2" lift shackle. No carrier bearing kit needed or included.

 

Sweeeett... Ordering a djm 4" flip right now lol

 

You may want to consider the Belltech flip.

 

4" ? I just texted the number on there and looked on the site

 

I would avoid flip kits all together. Stock soft sloppy leaf springs, combined with the axle being 2" from the frame isnt a good combination.....

 

I have a flip kit and no problem. and can tow as much as stock with the helper bag.

2pc driveshaft: be ready to have a bearing carrier relocator to order for 4+ drop.

djm over belltech: djm you can adjust the pinion as you want: belltech: you need to buy the shim

that's for my 07 but 04-12 have the same suspension or so.

 

04-08 and 09-12 have a slightly different rear design for flip kits

 

Exactly my point. You need a helper airbag kit to make the truck do any hauling at all. You need to buy additional stuff to make the flip kit perform like it should be performing.... The flip kits are cheap up front for a reason.....


09-12 have longer leaf springs

 

I have a 2000lb Aliminum bass boat, and I was going to do a flip because last time I did leafs on another truck it rode horrible... Also so u think djm 4" flip will Require a carrier bearing kit, will it harm it if I don't ?

 

Any 5" rear drop will ride the frame whitout a notch or bag.
Or you'll have a ****ty bumpy ride with stiffer leaf with no load.
