Doing a 'flip kit' on your OBS 88-00 truck? Read this...
These trucks have a poor shock angle when flipping the rear axle on the leafs. The placement of the shock extension brackets to help regain some shock travel doesn't fix this (it just allows for slightly increased travel).
I measured my truck & found the distance from the shock mounts @ the rear end to each upper shock mount was also different which adds to the poor angle. My driver side shock mount distance was 15"; the pass side was 19". Through discussion, Lolife99 passed on a nice little tid-bit of info that should be shared as these trucks are the current hot-ticket ride.... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...5&postcount=13 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=816847

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol. |
