What is a flip kit and how does it lower my vehicle?

A flip kit relocates your rear axle from its original position underneath the leaf springs to sit above them. This simple change in mounting position creates a significant drop in the rear ride height, giving your vehicle a lower profile.

What components are included in this Belltech flip kit?

This kit includes axle saddles, U-bolts, U-bolt plates, shock extensions, frame rail C-notches, and all necessary Grade 8 hardware. It also comes with installation instructions to guide you through the process.

Will this kit affect my vehicle's ride quality?

Belltech designs these kits to retain your factory ride quality by not requiring modification to the OEM leaf springs. The lowered center of gravity from the drop can also contribute to a more planted feel.

Product Details

This Belltech flip kit is designed specifically for your 1995-2002 Chevrolet Astro or GMC Safari equipped with factory steel leaf springs. What you get in this kit are the components needed to relocate your rear axle from underneath the leaf springs to above them, which is how you achieve a significant drop in ride height. This particular kit is set up to give you a 3.5-inch rear drop, giving your van that aggressive, lowered stance.

Belltech builds these kits with durable steel and a powder-coated finish to resist corrosion. They include axle saddles, U-bolts, U-bolt plates, and shock extensions, along with Grade 8 hardware for strong connections. A notable inclusion in most Belltech flip kits, and this one for your Astro/Safari, are frame rail C-notches. These are important because when you lower the rear axle below the frame, you need to create clearance for the differential housing to move up into the frame rail. This helps maintain suspension travel and prevents bottoming out. The design aims to keep your factory ride quality by not modifying the OEM leaf springs themselves, making it a straightforward way to get a slammed look.

When installing this kit, you'll be working with the rear axle and leaf springs. It's a good idea to have a helper and ensure you have the necessary tools for safely lifting and supporting the vehicle, as well as for removing and reinstalling the U-bolts and associated hardware. Refer to the included installation instructions for the specific steps and torque specifications to ensure a proper and safe setup.
