Default Shackle flip complete

Flipped my shackles and hangers to gain another 2" at the rear. Finally leveled out now. Pain in the butt to do, but safer than blocks, I think. Just thought id share. Ill try to get pictures tomorrow

Cool thing about this, is I can get lowering shackles, and since the hanger is flipped, itll actually lift the rear of my truck

This is how she sits now with the shackle flip. Only thing ive done to the rear for lift is an AAL and this flip. I dont have pics of her before, but there is one on the thread about doing a 3" lift that is being recently posted on...


This is the flipped perch and hardware, the way it looks installed...

You would have better luck winning that lottery. Theres all ways tomorrow to search for a pic..

Complete? Incomplete i think you ment to say. Why incomplete you should ask? Axle pushed forward not centered. Zero rate block to call this complete.
