    You have to weld the bracket on. Mine are hanging there with no problems 13 months later.
    I tried to zip tie them, that worked for about 5 miles. Lol

    You can see it here in the picture. It will rattle like an SOB unless you can secure it.

    I love these springs.

    So, what are the best shock for this setup? I have a ATA Shackle flip as well. For my usage most likely dont need remote res shocks

    I'm running the Fox 2.0, their great for now but I plan on upgrading when I do a shackle flip. they definitely won't work with the extra droop. you'll most likely want to set everything up without the shocks and cycle the suspension. Take measurements and order a shock that works with your extended and collapsed measurements. Everybody's truck is a little different and a shackle flip throws it into another ball game. Do it right once, take measurements, then order.

    This seems to be a very debatable topic these days. I still haven't done the shackle flip and I'm kinda on the fence about it these days. It's supposed to give you a little more usable travel but I still can't justify it.

    He quoted my post about a shackle flip kit....if talking about the u bolt flip kit than the benefit is to get rid of low hanging shit under your rear axle.
