Hey All...
We've been really busy here lately, but I finally took a couple hours to re-design our K5 shackle flip kit. The Gen1 version was plenty stout and strong, but I just never really liked the look of it - it wasn't "symmetrical" and being an engineer, it simply annoyed me a little. The new design is more like the 88-98 version, only with the correct bolt pattern and shackle location for the 73-87 trucks/blazers. Here are a couple pics:
These kits include nut plates for strength and ease of installation, all required hardware, and greaseable HD shackles with polyurethane bushings! Grinding off your factory rivets is required of course, but everything should be a bolt-in after that! Works with both 52" and 56" rear spring setups (simply move the brackets side-to-side). Going price on the website right now is $250 but give CK5 members a deal at $225 for the whole kit (plus shipping)!
