Hi Damian,

Yes your right. When the front was flipped, new mounts were welded to the axle...Ill try to remember and get you a picture today. Its so darm simple and a great way to drop a truck with very little cost.

dmulally, I didn't get as low as this one, but i took 4 leafs out of the front and it dropped it significantly. and it doesn't ride bad at all. the rubber frame bumpers underneath still sit about 3 inches from the frame. vey cheap, i just had to buy new U bolts due to having to cut the old ones. -DVZ
