Shackle Flip Questions

No they're not DSC. I wish they were though. The 12" might be though haha

 

Like stated, My buddy running all pro standard packs was limited in droop by the stock shackle setup. He went with the SOS concepts shackle flip (which offers no lift in its middle setting with stock shackles) and it got him the 2in extra droop at the shock that he needed to fully utilize the shock. (a 12in 2.0 body remote resi king)


And yes the bamf kit mounts the shock slightly angled forward on the frame rail.

Also.... do yourself a favor, undo the 6 bolts that hold the bed on and just pull the whole bed off to weld them up.... it will make your life SO MUCH easier.

 

It looks to me like the SOS flip is actually adding lift even with the stock shackle. The rear spring eye is down from stock location, so that means it is adding lift, probably up to 1". I know this because my kit has the upper pivot right about the same height, but I have a 4" shackle length, while stock is 3.4", just saying real numbers here

 

Thanks man! Actually, I finally got the relocation on this weekend. Haven't had time to test it yet though. I have decided to hold off on the shackle flip for now, but it may be a project for the future.
