TC Drop: Should I do it?

I can say this with my shackle flip. My on road performance was not affected by the flip. I didn't notice any excessive leaning in corners or any other problems. I'm using stock springs that have 32 years of use on them so they are VERY soft.

All I noticed after the change is how much less harsh the ride was out back. Yes my 4" rough country springs ride pretty tight up front but when driving through dips, over speed bumps and curbs the rear just walks over it.

Granted everybody else's results may vary based on a number of variables. But the softer ride in back is not so soft that it requires the use of a sway bar or anything. My truck does see highway duty every now and then and even at 70-75 mph it's not that bad. No different than before the flip.
