    Is anyone running the flip on a stock pack?

    I read all 26 pages, and only 1 person had the stock pack and a 3-AAL.

    I loved my old '02 because of the rear flex (deaver's longer shackle and 12" shocks), but am very unimpressed with the 05+ flex in the rear.

    I would like to keep the truck on the lower side (so no expo pack) but gain droop.

    if your leaf packs getting inverted, you will need either:
    a) SHORTER Shackles
    b) Move the rear hanger towards the FRONT

    i can guarantee you neither one of those are going to fix the situation!
    the only way to fix it is either bump it at ride height or go spring under axle. the problem is the negative arch that the leafpacks go through and nothing else. extended shackles and flip kits just make the problem worse.

    just get a defined sua stage 1 kit and never worry about leafsprings again.....

LOTS of wiring, dual battery setup, Solar charging system, with some random lights spread around here and there.
    I am running it. I have the stock leafs with the TSB, so the 4 pack. Here are some pics.....

    The flip overall added about 1" to the height of the back of the truck. The droop is sick on these things:eek::eek::D

    Angle looks good. This is while the truck is sitting level.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    This is very true however when it comes to rock crawling the spring under gets hung up a lot. It's really not the ideal set up for the wheelin we do up here. It's really the price we have to pay to be leaf sprung Negative arch is going to happen with a spring over if you flex out the rear that's just how it is.

    air ride is garbage. gotta build your own setup: oasis compressor, smc or parker valves, some air line, a switch box and air gauge and you're good to go.

    i'd agree with those. sliding rags were all the rage 10 years ago and it would look better if the wheels were more flush w/ the inside of the fenders...
