shackle flip ?'s

[89coptzer]

hey guys, im kinda new to the 4x4 world but i want to lift my truck and put bigger tires on it. by the way i have an 89 jimmy. from what i hear a good way to go would be the 4 in shackle flip kit from ord. i was wondering what all is involved with doing this. is their any hidden parts i would have to buy. also could i use another shackle flip kit for the front or would i have to go at the front another way. any help would be greatly appreciated. by the way great site.

The ORD kit includes everything to do the swap. All you need is a cutoff wheel, or an air hammer, or a torch or all three. Also, use the search feature on the toolbar. I don't care what your question is, it has already been asked and answered. Good luck with your build. Kevin

Welcome to the site. The shackle flip kit is for the rear only. The front you will need to buy springs. You should need to buy anything else other than, as previously state, something to remove the rivets from the old shackle mounts.

ORD flip in the rear is straight forward. No shackle flip for the front, get some 4" lift springs.

Thats stupid... that means we get stuck dealing with clutter in the garage

Or people realize what a great feature it would be and pay for the info. Always another answer.

And it does not seem to clutter PBB too badly, so maybe we are just a bit more gracious and don't gripe about things as much.

I have not done it yet, but in my research and talking to others that have done the SF, zero rates to move the axle are often purchased and installed.
