About this part

Product Details

Starting with the Grade 8 hardware included in this Belltech flip kit, you know this is built to last. This kit is specifically designed for your 1997-2003 Ford F-150, whether it's a standard or extended cab. It's engineered to relocate your rear axle from beneath the leaf springs to above them, giving you a significant drop for that aggressive, lowered stance.

Belltech's approach here is smart: by moving the axle and not modifying the OEM leaf springs, you can often retain a comfortable ride quality while achieving that slammed look. This kit is designed to provide a 6 to 8-inch drop, depending on your specific truck's configuration. Most kits, including this one, come with axle saddles, U-bolts, U-bolt plates, and shock extensions to make the installation as complete as possible. Plus, Belltech includes frame rail C-notches, which are essential for allowing the axle clearance needed for this much drop without bottoming out the frame.

When you're aiming for a dramatic lowering of your F-150's rear end, a flip kit like this is a popular and effective solution. It’s a substantial modification, so make sure to review the included installation instructions carefully. This kit is a well-built option for achieving that custom, low-profile look on your truck.
