This kit relocates the axle above the leaf spring pack to achieve a dramatic 8-inch rear drop, delivering a stance that's simply not possible through spring or shackle-based methods alone - and doing it with hardware actually rated for the C3500's higher curb weight and payload capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt for 1988-2000 C3500 trucks, the kit includes correct axle mounting brackets, U-bolts, and hardware sized for this platform's heavier axle housing and leaf spring pack. C3500 trucks carry the stoutest rear end in the OBS lineup, so a flip kit engineered specifically for this application, rather than adapted from a lighter C2500 or C1500 kit, matters both for fitment and long-term durability under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn 8-inch rear flip significantly changes driveshaft angle, so plan on a carrier bearing relocator and driveshaft modification as part of the complete install - this is a serious suspension build, not a weekend bolt-in, and benefits from being handled by someone experienced with drivetrain geometry or a shop specializing in lowered heavy-duty trucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll need shocks and brake lines sized for this drop depth, and a rear frame C-notch is commonly paired with this kit to maintain tire and frame clearance at full compression. Parking brake cable routing also needs careful attention at this drop amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor C3500 owners chasing a truly aggressive, frame-hugging stance, this flip kit is the foundation piece to build your rear suspension package around - just budget for the full scope of supporting work that comes with a drop this deep.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belltech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58145152106656,"sku":"BT-C3500-8FLIP","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9720\/2848\/files\/bt_6926_001_640_212__83824.1582958460.jpg?v=1783269982","url":"https:\/\/obsrevivalparts.com\/products\/belltech-rear-8-drop-axle-flip-kit-1988-2000-chevy-gmc-c3500","provider":"OBS Revival Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
