has anyone tryed a shackle flip
I was wondering if anyone has attempted the ol rear shackle flip.
Also i wonder if i took my 44" arched leaf springs from the front and made them fit in the rear, what issues would i have? Why do we have 52" springs back there anyway. Just curious.

Re: has anyone tryed a shackle flip
Jim-
I have a shackle flip on the rear of my Blazer - works excellent - I kept the stock rear springs and put the shackle flip with blocks for 8" of lift. Putting that short of springs in the rear - I believe you are going to lose some articulation - and it will likely be a stiffer ride - you would have to fabricate front mounts or move your existing so that your rear axle would be centered still...
