Ruff Stuff Specialties Flip Kit?

[AP Guy]

Hey all, title kinda says it all but I'm looking to lower my 78' 2wd c15 and stumbled upon this vendor that looks appealing. Looks more like a fab shop that makes these kits but has anyone had experience with these guys? Reviews on their website sound like a pretty solid kit. Looks like it comes in natural steel so I'd have to prep/paint it but that's no big deal. Price is lower than most so just thought I'd see if any of you have used them on your projects.

Thoughts?

Can you post a link to the specific parts you're looking at?

Would this kit be for a shackle flip? That will lift the truck.

I thought maybe I was missing something too. It looks like they may have some decent stuff if you were into that sort of thing.

Ah, that's just a basic universal install kit. That will work fine if you are ok with welding and setting up the pinion angle. Most folks just buy some brackets that basically let you bolt the axle housing in the wrong way.

That's what I was wondering. After looking around some more I think there's better kits out there for the money. This looks well built but I don't want the hassle of welding and prepping/painting bare metal

I wouldn't say there's 'better' kits out there. Simply put, that's not a flip kit. It's an install kit for axle swaps, usually 4x4 applications. But yes, a flip kit would be simpler for what you want to achieve.
