[4wheelattitude]

Thanks to the great team at SKY. They made me a deal I couldn't refuse. Absolutly FREE!! All I had to do was send them my old shackles for them to make the flips. Hey if it's free why not? They fit my 70 shortbed great! Now I have to lift the front and redo the exhaustand... At any rate I thought I would share the info and my excitement I might post pics if I can figure out how

Cool, so they are going to be producing the shackle flip for the 67-72's now?

How many inches did it end up lifting? And are you happy wth the fit and finish? And Like they said pictures. Thanks.

Yep! The sent me the first set to try out and all went well. Don't know about the $ amount though. However I think the did a great job on them. These things are really heavy duty! I don't off road any with my truck. I just wanted the lift without the blocks. I'll have to check on the amount of lift I actually got. It looks to be around 4" though.

Here are a few pics after they were installed

what do you think?

look good...

tho it looks like that shackle angle leaves alot to be desired, even unweighted..

all the more reason to get a longer spring!

4 1/2 inches

As near as I can tell it looks like 4 1/2 inches lift unweighted. I do think I would like a longer spring to get a better angle though. Maybe when I get more $$$.00 And if I can sneak it by my wife
I just got the frame, springs and shackles blased and painted yesterday (LOOKS GREAT!). It's offical! It's a ground up rebuild now. I'll get some pics posted soon on the progress.

Also looks like some secondary shackle mount holes further back for even longer springs!
