DONT BUY AIM. EVER!
X2 AIM IND sucks, their parts are second rate and their customer service isn't worth spaeking of either.

WOOO HOOO!!!! I just bought a set of belltech drop spindles for a 1991 for $180 shipped!!! WOO HOO!!!! Hopefully the truck will be dropped May 10-11 weather permitting. Although I don't know how it will look with a sxle flip in the back, and only 2" of drop in the front. I may have to cut the springs in the front a little or go for the california raker look.

Rear flip will drop it about 4". Front is already 2" lower, so it should be about level.

I got about 6" of drop in the rear when I did my axle flip. I think you will have to drop the front at least 2 more inches to make it sat level. To me the only way to do it is to buy as set of drop control arms from Mid America Customs I was blew away by the craftsmanship that was put into those arms. I bought a set but havent been able to install them yet (having to move) but I am chomping at the bit to get the front end back together.

Well, I will have the parts, so I'm gonna do the drop with what I have. I'll take pics when it's all said and done and see where she sits.

Well, since you are moving, I would be happy to do the community a favor, and "test fit" them on my truck if you like

Shipping took about two weeks, I haven't got to install the control arms yet I did slide them into place and I also compared them to the originals to compare the length and the angles everything looked to be spot on. I don't for see any problems. I would reccomend thier products to anyone.
