Re: Shackle flip and rear pinion angles

The shackle flip does help retain the pinion angle better than a block or spring lift. Simply vertically relocating the rear end does change the front and rear yoke angles. But, like stated above, the shackle flip uses one attach point, and rotates the entire axle to provide the lift.

I used diy4x's shackle flip kit w/their cross-tied shckles to get a 4" lift in the rear. I don't regret it a bit.
