i could gain some droop with a flip cause my rear shackle hit the hangers. got the tranny putting the cam in today! should have engine /tranny/ t-cases in this week. hopefully there isn't too long a waiting list from HAD for shafts? yup i will be ready DR05

Are those lift spring 63's?? They dont look like they are flexing as well as they should be, maybe its just the non shackle flip that makes it look different.

they are 5" lift. i thought about doing a no-lift shackle flip but gonna see what this setup does first! so how much flex is right? how far should wheel come up before lifting another tire? or what is a respectable rti for tire height?

Well i just noticed that your springs didnt flatten out alot which is why I asked if they were lift springs, your front springs look like they are taking all of the flex since the main leaf is all fanned out from the rest, you might want to put a clamp on them to prevent from bending your springs. Id lift it up higher and see how high you can go

And another thing that I just realized is that you dont have any weight back there whihc will prevent your springs from flexing better.

yeah, the rear will have another 400 lbs on it after fuel cell (full) batteries cage etc.
