Prepare for the tech noob questions-
I currently have an ORD shackle flip and a zero rate for 5" of lift, running stock springs on my V2500 Suburban with a 14bsf. I have a CUCV with the 14bff (1 ton spacing) that is going on the Burb ASAP.
Reading the write up, it looks like I will have to switch to your shackle flip to avoid having to move the perches.
What, exactly, will I need to do to make the conversion and use your new invention (and avoid grinding, welding and all of the things that you do so much better than me)?

all that you would need is the new front hangers and a shackle flip designed for a one ton and you'll be good to go.
Your only other option is to grind off the perches. Some guys just don't want to do that and some don't have access to a welder to put new ones on. These hangers make the whole affair a bolt on deal.

Very nice, as always, Kert!!!! Have you ocme up with a price yet, or did I miss it?
Did you ever figure the pricing on these? Also, I am still a little unclear, will they work with the ORD flip that I already have or do I need to go with yours and sell mine?

Never enough eh? ha.
Looks really good kert.

We had discussed this happening as we were assembling the prototype!

Is this new stuff going to be up on the webpage soon?

Do you think you can make some lifted front hanger brackets for both the front and rear springs?

Hopefully no more than 6" anything higher would be ridiculous.....

AGREED!!!
maybe work it into the Flip-N-Switch setup we talked about a while back, rather than stock spacing, Kert.
