    There is no difference in ride quality, load capacity, spring rate, or anything else with a shackle flip. The only thing you get is a bit of rear lift and more travel with proper shocks.

    Well... my Boss is having the chassis of a truck blasted at work on Tuesday. Told me if I needed anything done to bring it in.

    Figure there's no better time to fix the carnage from the last Rausch trip.

    Pulled the bumper and skid plate off and straightened them. Tried to straighten the X member with a BFH. No good. Have to get one of my welding buddies to weld in a beefier x member for me. Cough, @Sub-Zero and @stairgod cough, cough.

    Crossmember finished. @Sub-Zero finished up the welding tonight. I'm 97% sure it won't fall off.
