    absolutely no reason to do the flip kit if you don't need more flex.

    unless you know in the future you'll be doing a lot more hardcore wheeling then you don't need a flip kit. swapping leaf springs isn't that much work, but installing a flip kit is not an easy task.

    If you are going through the trouble to remove the rivets, I suggest taking the bed off for said task. This will allow easier access to the top of the rivets. I practically murdered the support that attaches the spare tire just removing those.

    Would someone post a picture of the improved flip kit here and in the OP? The new design has a bunch of different holes for different spring packs, correct?

    Thanks

    I had seen this picture before but couldn't see the extra holes in the lower hanger.

    So how does this design compensate for the toe in of the frame? Are the hanger mounts angled to line up with the front? It's hard to tell from the pictures.
