    How much lift did you get in the rear after installing the shackles? I never have any weight in the bed so I'm hoping to only get like an additional inch of lift max. I don't like the rake look

    Edit: never mind, I forgot that you did your flip and springs at the same time

    Hey, I'm running Dakars as well. I also have B110's on the way.

    Did you install those brake lines? I'm wondering what length to get myself. I'm sure 29" would be long enough. I just don't want them hanging down any more than necessary.

    Thank you

    The 1st Archive spring under axle conversion kit shipped out, should have pics of install hopefully by end of September. Sorry about the cheezy mock up
    @weldo
    Edit: a few details here.
    This conversion kit is made to retain and work with stock axle perch, the 1/2" thick HD bump plate has a locating pin for the stock perch, and the plate is made from 50,000 psi steel. The lower spring plate is 1/4" stainless to conform to curvature of spring and distribute pressure from the U bolts which are 9/16"

    The trucks come stock with flat springs and 2.5" uptravel. The conversion to SUA allows more uptravel without going into negative arch, which to spring manufacturers isn't ideal. The Deaver springs also droop very well

    Looks cool. Is it wrong that I'm more worried about when my shackle flip will ship? :D
