^ nicee!

 

Very nice!

 

I want...add me to the list please and thank you!

 

A little motivation for installing the flips

 

DAYUM.

 

Sub'd to keep an eye on this.

 

Installation went great! Took us about 6 hours with some breaks in there, so easily doable in a day. There's a few detailed things to watch for so I'll include those in the instructions. 285/75's drop almost completely past the rockers now. Both pics above are with the tire just starting to lift off the ground. It gave ~1/2-5/8" lift on Scott's truck. Every truck will be slightly different, so I'm going to say expect 1/2"-possibly 1" depending on set up.

I'll start the production run this week and should be ready to start shipping in 2-3 weeks. I'll have final numbers later in the week. More pics in a bit....

 

How does relocating the shocks change the feel of the truck? I would love to flip my shackles, but hesitant on relocating the shocks. Need to post those pics in the offroad flexing thread.

 

Why do you need to relocate the shocks and If you have a nice shiny exhaust tip you can say goodbye.

 

With running stock length shocks a flip kit is pointless. I went with the stiffest 10" 6100's they make. They ride as good or better than stock. And with 20" of travel it's a good upgrade.

 

^^ this, I didn't relocate my shocks at all (Nor do you need to for this to work...)

I even still have the stock TuRD OR Billy's on there... with stock brake lines. Yes, I will need extended lines and longer shocks. Going to measure for shocks this week methinks...

But even still, I won't be relocating the shocks. At least not anytime soon... Unless you're talking about 05tacoSPORT that posted his rig with his ATO shackle flip (and LOTS of other things), he has a lot of crazy things done to his rig!

 

You going lt?

 

Depending on when this comes out, I may do it too...

 

did you get time to test it or take it off road yet or did you just get it installed

 

Im 100% into this, if theres still some list, please put me on.

 

excellent work!

we'll see how things work out in the next month and i maybe down to convert another colorado truck to the shackle flip'd
