I just ordered a shackle flip kit, trying to help my axel wrap in the soft stuff by deleting the block. I was wondering who knows of a good way/parts to flip the u-bolts when deleting the block?

 

I think there is a kit out there for that as well......

 

Only one I have been able to locate is the dodge off road. $175 seems a little steep to me.

 

Indeed. All it is is a couple plates to put the u-bolts through..... I would hope for that kind of money, it came with the u-bolts as well??

 

That kit does come with the bolts. I just need to get under my truck and do some measuring I think. I can get the plates cut by the local steel supplier and I have a drill press. The bolts are the hard part, I also need to look at the pack and see what I need to do for the centering pin.

 

Don't waste on DOR.

Shackle flip requires a zero rate or offset block and degree shims. Zero rate has holes to reposition axle with center pin. The lift is only happening at rear mount, so the shift to recenter in wheel well, then shim to account for pinion angle change if still stock driveshaft with tcase slip yoke.

if still 1500 leaf springs, then 2.5" width

Other places offer similar above. I made my zero rates. Ubolt flip kit from RuffStuff. Measure tube diameter.

 

Thank you for the response, it is a 2500 but has old skyjacker lift springs in the rear, which are way to soft but I'll save up for some decent leaf springs eventually. The kit I got is the apoc industries which replaces the front mount as well. The front one has multiple slots to help center it. I think though from what you showed I can get the rest of what I need with a few measurements. Thank you.
