Echobit flip still available????

[muddybuddy]

so what if u were running a cv shaft, would that still be a problem? since u want it pointed straight at the output anyway?

Well, it sounds like you guys want me to build something! Can somebody post a picture or two to refresh my memory on the set up. I'll take a look at it and maybe put a little of my own spin on things.

There is a drawing with demensions in this thread.

I'll look into it and see how far the pinion would go.

OK, looking at the drawing and doing some quick figuring, it would appear that the echobit style flip would net approx. 5.875" of lift. That is going strictly by the numbers. Probably a little less actually due to the shackle angle adjustment.

you got pm kert

Geez, give the guy a chance, he's pretty busy 'ya know

wow i just realized how old this thread is. that is a very simple design think ill make a set for my 72 k5

 

[pauly383]

I love mine , quick and simple , and by uing them backwards ( right on left and left on right ) 56's are a bolt in .

 

[slyguy_22]

the 56's i can find on any 3/4 ton right? or are there certain years?
Think i might fab one of those up this weekend. did you put 4" springs in the front then?

 

[pauly383]

I am as simple as a suspension can come :

Rear on stock 52's with Echobit flip and Gabriel shocks in stock mounts . Front 4 inch ProComp springs ( from their kit ) with ORD greasable shackles and the 4 inch kit rear shocks in the stock mounts .

The 56's I speak of haven't actually made it onto the truck yet , I have some though in my yard

So is anyone actually making a Echobit style flip? I've got a K10 so I don't need to drop the tank but the simpler the better.

Seems really easy to make. All you need is a sawzall and a drill or drill press.
