Ok im new to the idea of a reverse shackel flip and was wondering this I already have a 4 in Rough Country lift on my K5 and want another 4 to 6 inches of lift could i keep the 4 in lift i have now and then do a 4 in shackel flip to get 8 inches of lift?

do you currently have 4" blocks or springs in the rear?

i would use the shackle flip to get rid of the 4" blocks, that will save you some headache down the road. if you want to go bigger from there get a add a leaf & possibly longer shackle or just a 4" replacement leaf spring for the rear.

i am running tuff country springs in the rear, you can find them on suspensionconnection.com. if you decide to do the shackle flip, go ahead & install the new springs at the same time.

Also think about running the longer 56" springs if you don't have them already. Pretty easy swap in by reversing the shackle flip kit you will be installing. Then you'll have some extra 52" 's around for the front!

If you are considering a shackle flip... then doing the springs will be a piece of cake.
