    Damn, it sure is easy working on it without the bed on!

    Cross member is out, shackle flips are off and I brushed off the flaking paint. Next is to drop the Evap and gas tank and then weld in the plates and new cross member and go back to factory shackle hangers :sawzall:

    All the shit @jberry813 said about it.

    It changed my view on them completely. And going back to factory style will lower my rear end a little more and then I can completely lower the front and have absolutely no preload

    What's funny is prior to owning a second gen I always cautioned people about doing a shackle flip. I don't think anyone listened to me. Tides do seem to turn though.

    I did it almost 2 years ago and I was a high school teen who didn't know what he was doing and I followed the trend from the VA guys. I'm glad I learned to listen to adults now.

    Yup, they all did it and I joined the bandwagon. I've also wheeled with your truck before you probably even knew about it

    I've read that multiple times. It still in the back of my mind, and still trying to understand it fully but wouldn't what you say mainly be for go fast rigs?

    All the east coast guys do it, yet that's where most of the built trucks come up for sale. Coincidence? I think not :rolleyes:
