The 4/6 kit for the 88-98 C1500 is by far the most popular kit of all time. Ask any magazine guy, they will tell you theres a million articles out there on how to do it, what are you waiting for? Well you need a kit and the DJM Calmax kit has been one of the favorites! The combination of Calmax arms and coils springs up front net you out 4″ of drop without wheel clearance or alignment issues and we put this together with our DJM 6″ axle flip kit
A “flip kit” moves the rear axle from beneath the leaf spring to on top of the spring. Nothing is really “flipped” and this is the best way to drastically lower the rear end of most trucks! You will need to “C-notch” your frame for provide suspension travel and DJM includes frame support brackets to reinforce your frame as well as DJM’s exclusive pinion adjustable axle brackets
