Interesting......I too was thinking along the same lines as Bud. I'm not planning on towing anything substantial with my rig (71 GMC Jimmy). I am however planning on making a daily driver capable of all around off roading. So, same question as Bud, but different rig & purpose. I'm leaning towards 6" of lift, but thought I'd go with the shackle flip & flatter springs for a softer, flexier ride, Wad'ya think? Thanks!
