CPP Rear Shock Crossmember thoughts?

Is the only benefit of flipping and flattening the stock brackets to increase shock travel length? I was doing some fitting and testing today after I cut and shaped the new brackets, and it looks like flipping that bracket will make that the lowest point of the rear end.

Yes, flipping the brackets allows more shock travel since they're now .750" below the bottom of the T/A vs. .750" above. They do fall below the scrub-line on the T/A but I don't recall them being lower than say the brake drum.

On lowered T/A apps (using lowering blocks), if over 1.5" blocks are used, the U-bolt ends are usually the lowest point & are below the scrub-line

Makes sense to me. Thanks for the reply.
