Shackle flip with lowering shackles
I was looking into doing a shackle flip and then getting some lowering shackles which would actually add a lift to it since it's flipped. Has anyone ever done this combination before? I was planning on just using the stock shackle because lowering shackles are cheaper than shackle flip kits. Also, I already have a leveling kit so what would be the next way to lift up the front so it's the same as the rear.

How much lift do you already have in front?

Can't go much higher in front then, 3" is pretty much the max without spending some serious coin. That means control arms, track bar, drop pitman arm, longer shocks, etc. Want to pay attention to shock length in the rear as well... Don't want them acting as travel limiters. They don't survive long doing that. :)
Could look at a good lift kit, that just uses blocks in the rear, and do the shackle flip instead, and don't even use the blocks. (I am just not fan of using blocks to lift the rear in any event.....) |

Check out Top Guns Customz. I think they sell pieces/parts, so you can just get what you need.
If you go over three inches in front, you MUST also use longer control arms, and correct track bar for your lift, not to mention the drop pitman arm. Seems you already have the shocks. Careful with the brake lines, too, make sure they are long enough, else they get ripped out, and you no longer have any brakes. Not a good scene. :D |
Rough Country, IIRC, sold separate parts too.
