    Can someone help clarify position...by moving flip kit forward, does that increase additional lift? Or by moving mounting location of flip kit aft increase lift?

    Moving it forward increased shackle angle, decreasing ride height.

    Got it. Thanks.

    Edit: I just looked at my purchase history and realized that my Kings are extend travel shocks, does that mean I can use these with my current set up?

    Did you do anything with your bumps to limit up travel? With your shackle as far forward as it is, it doesn't look like you're getting as much negative arch at compression as compared to the pre-drilled location.

    You would need to compare the ext/coll #'s of your shock. The best way would be to install this kit and take measurements to order custom length.

    You need to know the actual numbers. Ideally your springs should limit travel near full extension of the shocks. As deeezy stated, you could install this and then make the appropriate changes

    I would put one side to full droop and get a measurement of the shock. Then remove the shock and take a full extension measurement. If you're close, installing this will mean buying new shocks. If you have a few inches of shock travel left, this kit might get you where you want to be.

    Yes, needed to space the bump stops out more due to the longer shock.

    How far did you space them? I'm on airbags for bumps and not sure if I'll keep them.

    i think 3/8. This takes some trial and error though, depending on length of your shock. I have the super bumps, and when it touches the frame, i have around 1.25" left in the shock before it bottoms. took the squish into consideration.

    This is a great development! The shackle angle was the only thing bugging me about this kit. The parts themselves are really well made, just didn't like the positioning. Thanks for posting your findings brother! I'll be using your experience as a guide for my install.

    No prob. Id definitely go off what springs you have prior to drilling any holes. I don't have an exact measurement of the all pro springs, but hear they and the stock pack is longer than the Dakar pack. A little forward definitely goes a long way.

    Anyone know if this kit would work with Chevy 63s? Or do you have to move the shackle mount rearward for those?
