So I currently have a Gatsby trucks shackle flip. It utilizes The factory under frame bracket and I lenghtened stock shackles to 6". The problem now is it feels kinda squishy and the shackle Is almost straight up and down or going the wrong way so seems to ride rough.
My question is has anyone used the other shackle flips out there besides ORD's? I am not against them at all have bought lots of parts from them. Was wondering if anyone has used the superlift one or the sky manufacturing one? I like the design with the shouldered shackle bushings to help with stability when I tow.
 
I used DIY4X on my first gen. I really liked how beefy it was and that it came powder coated. My current K5 came with ORD’s setup when I bought it.

I‘d be willing to try CFM Industries version. All the stuff I have bought from him has been pretty legit.
 
i'll take an external shackle style like Kert's over an internal any day.... cheaper shackles and easier to adjust height with said shackles...
 
That sky one dosen't look bad.
 
I've ran the Sky version for probably 15 years or so. Very beefy and gives two options for mounting the shackle (should be able to either use stock 52's or 56's without modifying anything. However I do agree with the above comment for the DIY4X version that uses the external shackles, or basically just flat plates, that are much easier and cheaper to adjust the length of the shackles.
