Belltech Rear 6" Drop Axle Flip Kit - Standard Cab Short Bed - 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC C1500

Want the dramatic, ground-hugging rear stance that only an axle flip kit can deliver? The Belltech Rear 6" Drop Axle Flip Kit (Part# 6605) relocates your rear axle from underneath the leaf springs to on top of them, instantly opening up 6 inches of additional drop that a shackle-and-hanger kit simply can't touch. This kit is application-specific to Standard Cab, Short Bed 1988-1998 Chevy and GMC C1500 trucks, so every bracket and saddle is designed to bolt right into your factory frame and spring locations.

Belltech builds every flip kit from high quality steel and finishes it with a durable powder coat, so it shrugs off road grime, moisture, and daily abuse for years down the road. Grade 8 hardware throughout means you're not cutting corners on strength just to get your truck low. This is the same engineering approach Belltech uses across their entire drop-kit lineup: application-specific parts, not universal one-size-fits-none stampings.

Flipping the axle over the leaf springs changes your truck's whole silhouette, tucking the rear end down into the wheel wells for that unmistakable slammed OBS look. Combine this flip kit with a matching front drop (spindles, coils, or a full lowering kit) and you'll have a truck that sits dead level with a stance that turns heads at every stoplight.

Kit Includes: Axle Saddles, U-Bolts, Plates, Bumpstop and all mounting Hardware needed for installation.

Important: This kit is for Short Bed, Standard Cab trucks only. Extended Cab and Crew Cab applications require a different flip kit (see our Ext Cab version), so double-check your cab configuration before ordering to make sure you get the correct bracket geometry for your wheelbase.

Fits: Chevrolet/GMC C1500 2WD, Short Bed, Standard Cab, 1988-1998.

Installation does require some suspension know-how and basic fabrication skills, since you're relocating the axle relative to the spring pack, but this is a well-proven kit that thousands of OBS trucks are already running with zero drama. If you're chasing a serious rear drop and want a kit engineered specifically for your truck rather than a generic universal flip bracket, this is the one to grab.
