Rear Shackle Flip Question

[fx4wannabe]

Finally getting the suspension on my rig ironed out. I scored a 6" lift off an F250 and got the leafs in the front and all is good there. In the rear it had stacked blocks which I am not real wild about so I am going to do a shackle flip in the back. Pretty set on the one from Sky Manufacturing but I am trying to figure out some particulars as far as getting the back level with the front height wise. They say there flip gives 4.5" of lift and corrects pinion angle by using 4" tapered blocks with the flip. So my question is will this set level with the front or will I need some longer shackles as well? Any have this on there truck?

Have you seen the one from ruffstuff specialties? That one gives closer to 6" of lift. Shackles are pretty cheap, so I wouldn't be too worried about it til you get it put together and see where it sits.

If I was building a woods truck I could the ruff stuff being a better route but for my rig the bolt on install of the Sky kit fits the bill just fine.

ive got skys product in my truck and it sits level front and rear. it actuallly sits so level just the little bit of weight of my quad in the box makes it look as if its sagging hard. ive got the 5" front shakel reversal and the 4.5" rear with the 1" HD shakle along with the 4" skyjacker lift kit i run 385 70 16's and it rides like a tank.

So sounds like I will need the shackles.

Well I guess I am just gonna order the flip kit and go from there. Anyone know a place that sells extended end links for our trucks front and rear? If I have to I can have them made but I would like to have some new beefier ones if I can find some.
