    hmmm.. wonder if that'll help with my wiper longevity. winter takes a toll on them.. could help with more down force.. might have to use aluminum to save on weight though..

    I would not be overly concerned about the shackle angle. Mine were just about the same at first.
    Remember - you have just completely reversed the way they are attached to the truck and they'll need to adjust to that.
    Also - your rear leafs have just become a wear item.:eek:

    With the flip kit the leafs have a greater tendency to negative arch or "flatten"
    IDK about the Deaver pack but my stock leaf pack with the 3 leaf AAL is damn near straight now. :(
    Granted I have much older leafs on mine (for now).

    and unfortunately the defined shackles did not fit over the spring bushings....so those did not make it on :(

    gotta get in touch with them and see what the issue is..

    might look into other shackle options..

    Looks awesome Bob! As long as it works well at Moab I'll be copying that eventually. Did you get any measurements on how much longer the shocks needed to be? What shocks did you get? Did you get any before/after lift height measurements?
