ORD (as are most) shackle flips are offset. If you install them in the factory spot with the offset rearward you can run 56" (3/4 or 1 ton length) springs with no other mods. Lots of folks have done it and I did on my K5.

Yep, what he said. I run Ford springs that are an inch longer at 57" and they worked with a good shackle angle too just by flipping the brackets on the "wrong" side.
