Shackle Flip Question

[91 Jimmy]

If I install a shackle flip on my 91 Jimmy, will I still be able to use my receiver?

Also in the complete suspension kits from ORD, what is actually needed for just a basic lift. This truck will just be used on the sand dunes and short on road trips. thanks

best info i can give is call ord thay are bussy these days and dont get on here much.

i use my hitch reciver on my 1ton. but you have a blazer. i know the flip only replaces the stock bracket so i dont see why not. and thay will sell you any level of a lift kit you need.

When i installed my ORD flip i had to cut a small portion of the flip bracket off to clear my hitch bracket. Not a big deal and did nothing to sacrifice any strength of the ORD flip bracket.

The brackets are 1/4" plate and i cut it with a cut off wheel on a die grinder.

I used a torch, and notched out a small portion of my hitch brackets. Of course mine was on a K30, not a Blazer. Yes, I need new bushings in my shackle.
