Has anyone used these
Has anyone tried the Shackle Flip kit from Offroad desing. I was looking at them and think it would be nice to keep my stock springs. http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/shacklekit.htm

Lots of people use them, those and there are a couple other manufactures also. Check out www.coloradok5.com they host ORD's forum. Talk directly with Steve @ ORD.

If you want to save some money this is an alternative
We have chatted about doing your own shackle flips to the ORD kit a couple times. Might interest you. here are some links http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...threadid=81271 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...&threadid=81459 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...&threadid=75444

drink2many, last 2 links didnt work for me, maybe its just me....i have seen a guy that did his own flip, just cut a hole in the middle of his stock hanger and flipped the shackle. TO ME... it didnt look as strong and looked like the shackle might his the hanger. He said it worked just fine for him.

Yeah I don't really care for that type of flip.
I like strong and durable, for the fact I beat the hell out of my Blazer. Here I'll try the links again http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...threadid=75444 and the other http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...threadid=81459 Again not a very hard project to do, and saves alot of money. Same shackles work on 67-72 trucks as well as other years on up.

The only question I have about them is strength, but as long as your not towing heavy loads or hauling heavy loads then I don't think you will ever need to worry about it. They look very well built and I don't think anyone could break the mounts themselves.
