Love this video! I most definitely need to do this flip kit on my 83! I've got to get my rear down a little lower. I really don't want to pay the money I've been quoted to get a C-Notch.

Chevrolet & GMC half ton & three quarter ton regular cab pickups were the only models in that generation they stopped producing in 1987. All of the rest of the models were produced up through 1991 except for the one ton regular cab pickups because they stopped producing those in 1989.

Question for you: I’ve got a 5/7 drop kit from IHC suspension for my 2015 crew cab Silverado. Rear was 7 inches dropped spot on but the front only dropped 3.5 inches. I talked to them about it, email pictures and alignment paper work and they couldn’t find the cause of it. So if I cut the spring coil I guess the truck will lower a bit more right? So the question will be how much do I have to cut the coil to get the 1.5 that I need. Thank you in advance for your help.

Man on my obs I just cut a coil and a half out of the front, done a flip kit and notch in the rear with a 1” shackle, new front and rear oe spectrum shocks for a 67 Impala (same lengths as the belltech drop shocks but softer valving) and it rides like absolute garbage. I’m thinking the front and rear are either both riding on or almost on the bump stops. Any recommendations?
