    Can anyone tell me how a shackle flip would affect towing and payload? I'd like the extra bit of travel but not at the sacrifice of towing or payload capacity.

    Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. It helped me make my mind up about the shackle flip idea.

    I've had customers tow fairly heavy with the Archive shackle flip, it does have a couple compromises, but my brand new Hammer tension shackle hangers are about to release, and have no compromises from the stock flimsy hangers.

    6inch lift sitting on bilstein coilovers. Lexus is300 studs in front to keep stock wheels, general grabber red letters, nfab front bumper.
    How much lift could one expect out of these?

    With stock shackles, 1/2" lift max. With the long fabbed shackles it might lower an 1/8"
