    after observation of his gallery, i think you piece together his rear set-up fairly simply

    i think angles will be the big though

    Can you elaborate a little on that?

    There may be some benefit others might reap from your experience or perhaps you might benefit from others that are wiser than the wise folks who told you it wasn't working correctly.

    Thanks for your input

    Im pretry sure its because his kings limit his travel and to actually use the flip kit he'd have to run longer shocks with hoops. But I may be wrong.

    Just switched to 12" kings with new shock mounts, problem is right now my leafs are going inverted earlier than they should. However I plan to get extended shackles and see if that corrects the issue.

    This is with my shock stuffed to the max:

    Is increasing the height of the bump stops an option?

    Not only an option but a requirement...so, now.. you will have maybe an inch of uptravel left and regular ride height? No buenos.

    Custom leafs with newly designed arch speciaficly for this particular application is needed

    Edit: different length is needed as well in my opinion

    new bumps are definitely required. That picture is with the other side flexed out. at ride height they are fine. The shock is maxed out in that picture as well.
