rear shackle flip

[itsacrazyasian]

just finished doing the sky rear shackle flip.

DIdn't tow very heavy with it yet but i did drag my enclosed triple axle enclosed car trailer without the race car and it did quite well. no real noticeable difference before and after. Not loaded anyway.

Unloaded, she rides SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!

edit: rides so much better with the reverse shackle in the front, new shocks, rear shackle flip and front superduty springs.

and to top it off, the top of the bed is an inch taller than me standing next to it.

i need to replace the stock block with a tapered one installed reversed to bring the driveline angle back to stock.

is that kit for the front or rear? I got a four inch lift, and looking for a better ride. I am using aftermarket leafs in the front, and blocks in the back. got any suggestions

This is a Shackle reversal

You fix the front of the spring to the chassis, and put the shackle to the rear.

I removed the lift block and put a smaller angled block to get the proper pinion angle on mine.

I didn't need the lift block as i already had lift springs.
And didn't really want the truck "that Tall"

This is what it looks like underneath.

You are def one that uses their truck offroad!

I'm gonna sit it on 40x13.5x17's and thats it.

I'm tired of getting rear ended in this thing. Look at the first picture? See the bent rear bumper? Rear ended TWICE in a month, once by a Haitian in a Sienna Minivan (that one i still see running around without a hood and only one headlight left) and a PT Looser.

should see me now!

Julio! You are a wild man with your truck! I like the addition you made to your front bumper! Whats going on with your headache rack? Looks like it runs between the cab and bed all the way down to the frame.............how did you make that work? any more pics? I really love you rig man- Keep up the awesome work!
