About this part

Product Details

Belltech has been known for making suspension parts that help trucks sit lower and handle better. If you're looking to give your 1999 or 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a serious drop, this rear axle flip kit is designed to do just that. It works by relocating your rear axle from underneath the leaf springs to sit on top, which provides a significant amount of lowering, typically between 6 to 8 inches depending on your truck's specific setup. This method is a popular choice because it allows for a dramatic change in stance without altering your original leaf springs, helping to maintain a comfortable ride quality.

This kit is built with strong steel and features a durable powder-coated finish to resist corrosion. Belltech includes all the necessary Grade 8 hardware to get the job done right, ensuring a solid connection. For most applications, this kit also comes with Belltech's frame rail C-notches, which are essential to provide clearance for the frame when the axle is flipped and the truck is lowered to this extent. You'll also find axle saddles, U-bolts, U-bolt plates, and shock extensions included, making it a comprehensive package for achieving that aggressive, slammed look.

When installing this flip kit, you'll want to refer to the included instructions for the specific steps and any recommended tools. Because this kit significantly changes the rear suspension geometry, it's a good idea to have your truck's alignment checked after installation. This kit is designed for standard cab models with a 5-inch frame width, and it's important to confirm this measurement on your specific truck.
