Default 2000 Ram 2500 Shackle Flip






Corey bought the truck with stacked blocks. I convinced him to try this shackle flip. I didn't get to help so I don't have many pictures. It turned out pretty nice. He lengthened the sway bar and removed the valve from the rear brakes. He turned the thicker part of the block forward to tip the pinion back down a little.

He said it's maybe a little better. It had a broken leaf so it has different springs than before.

Ah.

I think one of the advantages the seller talks about is 'better ride'..... wondered if there was any truth to that...
