    no flipping the U bolts doesn't change your travel numbers like a shackle flip would. So no you don't need new shocks if you flip the U bolts. All that does is give a bit of clearance under the Ubolts.

    if you did a shackle flip you would need longer shocks and bigger bumps because you would gain so much droop.

    I meant if you do a u bolt flip make sure you find a way to install bump stops before you wheel it

    So I talked to the guy who is doing my locker and the u bolt flip. He is going to tack the oem bumps onto the new brackets. I haven't looked at the stock bumps well enough to know how that will work.

    Cool stuff happening this week! Here is what I got done so far:
    The air-up kit ( I didn't get a shot of the compressor yet)
    [​IMG]

    Flipped the U-Bolts (Don't worry, that is brake fluid and is leftover from when the shop bled the brakes)
    [​IMG]

    And the finale! (for today :spy: )
    [​IMG]


    I am really going to try to get the next update by Friday, but we'll see how FedEx and Peerless Tire work with me.

    Thanks a lot dude, She is coming together pretty well now!

    I lived in Gresham for a while, I miss the green-ness of Oregon. And the blueberries and blackberries that grew everywhere! I loved flogging my built civic on the Columbia River Highway every weekend. Multnomah Falls was gorgeous.

    FedEx brought the last of the goodies for a while, and the tire shop is working with me to make sure I get in and out before I leave for the hills this weekend!
    Stay tuned for the final stage of this evolution!

    Moab, I am almost ready for you!

    Casino buddies? Did you win some $$$ to get all that done?! And does that switch configure your clutch to behave differently offroad or something? Just never seen it, but I have an auto sr5...

    Yep in dec went to Vegas and took enough money from Vegas to re gear / lockers. The button helps when you are on a steep hill and can't press the clutch all the way in.
