    I'm not sure if they're long enough. I have fox 2.0 RR for 2-3 lift. Plus doesnt that mean I have to weld to the frame? I wasn't planning on modifying the frame if i didn't have to

    Only reason to get a shackle flip is to gain more droop, but the only shocks for the stock location that kind of take advantage of the extra droop are extended travel icons, even at that they aren't ideal. Thats why almost everyone with the shackle flip relocates the rear shocks.
    Basically you'd spend a few hundred dollars and a day flipping the shackles, but not be able to take advantage of the benefits.

    Ahh ok I was just looking at it because I wanted to take out the overload spring and keep the height of the rear that I have. I love the way the rear sits I just don't like the ride that the dakars give me they are just way too rough and my fronts feel amazing.

    Thanks for explaining this by the way. I'm trying to learn more about my suspension so I don't mess it up

    I put the top plate spacer in so I don't have so much preload. Ride is still soft. No issues. No lean.

    Also my next door neighbor convinced me to enter my truck in a car show and I was interviewed by someone at the show and he did record it so once I find that I will be posting it up

    Top plate spacer is adding preload. It is exactly the same thing as turning the collar to raise that side of the truck.

    Yes and no.. He put it in so that the ride quality doesn't change at all yet he doesn't have any lean. Cranking up the coil over changes ride quality, but to even the lean out you won't notice a difference.

    So more like a strut spacer that does not change preload but adds lift?

    And yes it's like 1/2" or so. It's not much at all and about what I'm comfortable with as far as "spacers" go

    Just make sure your bump stop actually stops it and it doesn't bottom out

    Been very busy with work and grad school but some updates:

    sold and installed my ome lift on a friends truck and put some @Pelfreybilt skids underneath and did some cutting, beating of the pinch weld to fir 33s.

    started some wiring for @geekhouse23 sasquatch lights

    ive been saving for my front plate bumper and my 700# coils as well as lighting for it and some more firearms :infantry::yes::yay::woot::quickdraw:
