    Possibly? The way it is welded together on the corners though I'm curious if it would affect the structure of it. I'll have to look better at it to decide. Just to be able to put my shocks on though I went ahead and took it off.

    I am planning on King 2.5 w/resi rears, and will be using the All-pro flip with Timbrens. Any real advantage of Wheelers Super Bumps VS Timbrens?

    The wheeler bumps give more of a cushion, where the timbrens tend to be a bit more on the bouncy side.

    Hey @stronghammer . Here's the pics you requested. As you can see there is plenty of clearance from shock to flip kit. Was hard to get a clear pix of clearance to leafs but it's about 1-1/2"20160716_133614.jpg 20160716_133604.jpg

    I, like many others, have heard the AllPro flip Kit will work. It is actually what I am about to order this month and Kings soon after that! Also, I haven't seen any negative reviews on the Allpro either. :thumbsup:

    I got Wheelers front and rear. IMO the tiberons are not as cushioned. Watched a go pro video of the wheelers bumps going to work and bought them right after. I no longer hear the front end slam when I am hauling ass off road. It way smoother.

    Check Out My Build Thread :)
    I have the timbren set up and have clearance. while close im not sure how the shock would ever move inward though as you would think being vertical is should only be going up and down and possibly outward during flex but inward would seem odd to me... any updates?

    I never posted updates about what I did! I'm sorry, I posted them on my build thread and forgot about this thread. I ended up cutting the Low Range Flip Plates to fit and haven't gotten bumps stops.
