You had weld the extension on the shifter=that sucks=I think I'll buy the lifting torsion "keys" in the link I posted earlier=They also have a spring reversal kit for about 120.00.
Do the lift shackles make the rear end sway around corners?I think i'll post a thread to see if any peeps are using a rear spring reversal kit and coils in the front=that link lists an a-arm and coil kit for 99-03 d's---p.s.where the hell ya get that front bumper? and a good heavy duty brush guard,step bars, and hid or altezza headlamp kit would make your truck frickin way bad -ss-not sayin it's not now-ya also need the bumper sticker"Drive a lift truck,Fat chicks can't jump."<<saw this an a skyjacked chevy=lol

Welding the extension isnt bad at all, no problems, plus the portion i had welded was under the boot so you cant see it and it looks stock.

The Torsion keys are just another one of those gimmicks for lifting. Its the same as tightening your torsion bar nuts the adjusted keys just allows for more tightening/lifting which just makes everything worse. Anything past the 8 turns we suggest for a t/s your just making your suspension harder and joints worse off. Think about it.. Free (turning bolts) or $$$$ and labor/pain removing torsion bars to replace keys for the same outcome...

Coils are for 2wd trucks

The Axle flip (as you say spring flip) would make the rear end taller than the front, and the front cannot be lifted to match. This is more for a SAS unit than a stock IFS durango

Bumper is from Kennesaw

I like the floor lever. It's just better than relying on electrical.
