rear shackle flip

[digdoug]

I have been considering doing a rear shackle flip. Can anybody give me some input? Pictures would be nice too!

Thanks

what would that do for you?

Lift the rear of the truck.

If you wait several months, I will have mine (probably) done. What can I say, I work slow.

For mine, I am using cummins rear leaves, the cummins front hanger, and the stock 68 front hanger in the rear of the pack for the flip. I also may extend one of the pairs of shackles depending on how high it sits.

I have done that already, heck, maybe 12 years ago. Cheap lift, but it messed my pinion angle up some, so I eat u joints once in a while. I also used 4 inch blocks, maybe if I didnt do the blocks it would be all right, but it sure was a cheap lift.
Cut the rivets off, flip the shackle around, and the mount and drill new holes, bolt it on. done.
