    I call some of the E-4s with 8 years in that can't get promoted terminal specialists. Haha. Due to it being 90% their fault they haven't been promoted.

    You need to make sure to order the set for a long bed. No idea what the part number is though.

    BTW saw the truck yesterday. It's looking nice!

    Remember it's not just droop. You have to limit your up travel with bump stops. If you went with a longer shock you would need to relocate the shock as well. Then to maximize the travel your leaf spring would have to negative arch all the time which would have you replacing leaf packs much quicker.

    I have 61" Alcans which are longer then stock with a shackle flip that has an extended shackle. I run an 11" ICON Shock in stock location. At full droop with shock removed the shock mount only drop's 1/2 an inch below the fully extended shock. An 11" shock is just right unless you are going with 63" springs on an SUA set up or a link set up.

    Dylan was saying that shackle angle at ride height also has a lot to do with droop. So with stock length springs (like the AllPro Standards,) stock length shackle, and changing the the position of the shackle on the frame, can provide more droop. This has always been part of the trouble with "flip kits," it really isn't a bolt-on upgrade.
