using lowering shackles

[biglou400ex]

I was wondering if a set of lowering shackles, which i believe are just longer in length to cause the lowering effect, could be used with a shackle flip for a little more lift. Would this cause problems with pinion angle or could it be a cheap way to gain another inch or so.

you can do it. you'll probly need to shim your axle down tho, it will affect pinion angle. also most lowering shackles arent very strong from a wheeler's standpoint, might want to reinforce/box them in.

im thinking about doing this, not to get more lift, but to be able to move the shackle mount forward for a better angle. i think beltech makes a pretty good pair.

im using them with 56'' springs i put a piece of 1'' square tubing and im going to box the back of them that should keep them from bending
