Dually Shackle Flip

Burblover this topic has been beaten to death.
88burb if you do a search here you will find many many heated discusions about towing with shackle flips.
I have one on a 95 Ford truck and used it for all of my towing needs. I have towed upto 10,000# with the truck and never felt that it was unsafe or dangerous. I think it changed more when I put the 4" lift on with the blocks and add a lift spring. I then changed to shorter blocks with taller springs and then went to the shackle flip. It was always the same after I lifted it. I see no problems with it

You can also call Stephen and talk to him about this.

As my bro stated, there's a lot of info here on this already for you to sift through, in your case, you have a solid tow platform to begin with so you should not have any problems. As you will probably read, most problems with "towing with a shackle flip" are more related to tires, shocks, springs, wheelbase, trailer type, etc. than to the specific shackle configuration.
