How about a 1" lift shackle flip n switch?

[cybrfire]

Working on one now for a guy that bought some custom springs and ran into some issues with them. Got some big bucks wrapped up in the springs and really wants to use them.

Wondering if anybody else is interested in such a low lift flip? Actually its a little less than 1". Math puts it at .805" of lift.

Call it the old guy shackle flip.

I was thinking the "805 flip n switch."

You lost me. UDSR shackles and??

 

[sweetk30]

I figured udsr was short for something .

so the llsfk would be short for low lift shackle flip kit .

 

[cybrfire]

OH, I see. Yep, UDSR is short for something.

I'll take a 2" lift. Combo that with some nice 3" lifted 56s and I'll finally have some arch back in my springs.

Add more adjustability into it.

I like it.

Best way to go from this 1" to a 2" would be to add an EZ inch kit. 2" of lift in this product gets a little weird on the construction. Not saying its impossible.

I could dimple die punch it and you'd buy one!

Probably!!! Just leave room so I can add more fab bushings lol.

But that is actually my reasoning for being more adjustable, aka more hole locations etc.

Thanks for replying Kert. I already have an inch block with my 56s, plus 4" flip. My springs are fairly close to flat. Wish I could go either 2 or 3" flip and run either 3 or 2" lift 56s to get my 5" total lift without the blocks.

There is a lot of room for hole locations on your frame.

Am I the only one that hates drilling holes? Welding is so much easier lol.

A 4" lift spring will still flex pretty well provided the right brand. There is your 5". You'd have a little bit more arch that way, little more wheel travel on the compression side. That with the 1" flip and you get the benefits of the improved shackle angle and compression style shackle. Should make for a great set up.

That's one benefit of the 1" lift here. Most springs are advertised on evens at 2, 4, 6 and 8 etc. This flip allows you to hit the odds if you need a little more and pick up those other benefits at the same time.

I'd rather do a 4" spring and 1" flip then a 5" spring alone, even if one were made.

I agree its easier. I don't think that's what its all about though.

When are you gonna make a drop style tension shackle for us go fast guys? Still give some lift but allow all of that awesome free down travel that a tension shackle setup has.

You would make bank to this michigan Silver lake crowd. You would shit at the amount of squarebody rigs that are in the dunes. And so many want more travel.

 

[cybrfire]

Hadn't thought about it. How much lift you trying to get from it?
