    Got a lot of stuff lol
    I've spoken with a few people who were interested in how I did my ubolt flip on my 5 lug. This helps with ground clearance on the already low truck.

    This will require welding new shock tabs onto the axle!

    Parts

    2 sets of shock tabs (I used ruffstuff https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/R1653.html )

    Stock 6 lug ubolts and plates (You get get them used pretty cheap/free from other members)
    You don't need the bumpstops, I just stole this picture online lol

    Here is the general idea.
    1. Remove old ubolt stuff
    2. Add 6 lug ubolt stuff.
    3. Droop out suspension and weld new shock tabs
