    I gained about an inch from the shackle. The pack is supposed to be 4 but all the weight makes it down to about 2.75 to 3 at best. Add the shackle and I got a solid 4" I'd day. My front is just over 4 so it's level

    I can't see how they wouldn't but will these work with a SOS high clearance bumper?

    These fit within the "footprint" of the stock hangers so these should fit without any modification or issue.
    They will also fit with BruteforceFab, Pelfreybilt, CBI, AllPro, trailgear...
    Check out post #127 regarding the slight revision that took place to fit with aftermarket bumpers

    Few pics from last night. Tried to droop as much as a could considering it was dark, cold, and wet. The 1 time I got the rear wheel off the ground I couldn't get out because I almost rolled, so hopefully you guys will enjoy these for now :)

    Shackle angles looked good. Didn't go past vertical and I'm almost certain I had more room for travel on the shock.

    This might have been answered in the previous 12 pages. Would I need extended brake lines and longer shocks to run these? I'm running on 5100s.

    Hey Eric, I got my kit yesterday! I'm really impressed! The parts are beautiful. The welds are nice and uniform, the brackets have a great coat of paint, and everything was very neatly and carefully packaged.

    To anyone who is in the market for a shackle flip kit and is on the fence about this small company, fear not. These parts are gorgeous!

    Thanks again Eric! I'll post up some pics after install, though it may be a few weeks.

    I would really like to see a comparison on travel numbers that compared a spring over and the spring under with the Deaver springs. I like the angles and it really is a good looking product. What's nice about this kit is its mostly a bolt on kit compared to the 63" swap that allows for serious articulation.

    You've explained the shackle angle in great detail, but what about the articulation numbers? That's what's going to sell me.

    First, i just want to say this flip can be used with 63" as well, just the brackets would move back about 4".
    Second, comparing springs that fit in stock mounts, the SUA benefit vs SOA is the spring under doesn't go negative, the SOA will definitely be negative arch at full compression.
    Edit: I'll have to get free length and arch numbers of Deavers #u402 expo SOA spring to offer a comparison.

    I think the Deaver SUA spring, this kit with 6" shackles could access up to 13" travel, possibly 14" with bolt in SUA springs and stock front hanger.

    See the above response from Robert who installed the kit. You must remove the rivets holding the stock rear shackle hangers on.
    Thanks, Eric

    Just wanted to post this here for anyone wondering. Here's my shackle angle without the bed and 0 weight on the rear end, its sitting at about 23-24 degrees with all pro expo leafs. Should be around the 30 degree mark after the weight is added back.
