Yeah i had to do the same with mine. Luckily i've never had a problem removing them.

 

I just remembered, it should also be mentioned in this thread that when going low in the back, like 6-7+ inches, you will need to have your rear driveshaft shortened. I believe mine was shortened 1" and high speed balanced at the same time.

 

whats the total drop you have?

i bought my truck with a 6" lift and now i want to go the other way... i like how yours looks

 

were you asking me? Mine is at 4.5/7.













oh, and btw.... thanks again for making this thread, Bud, you'll be sorely missed around here....

spindles and keys - flip kit and shackles

 

Wow That sits nice!

Hows the ride?

Any wheel hop with the rear set up?

I'd like to closely mimic your ride heidth, i just have stock keys de-cranked and a belltech 2'' drop shackle/ removed factory block.

 

Thanks!

The ride is great actually, it's firm. No wheel hop but I also have helper bags in the bag @ about 80 psi.

 

what is it, flip kit and lift shackles? Doesn't look low enough for flip kit to me.... but then again, dayum 80psi in your helpers at all times!!?

I have mine dialed with the flip kit, lowering shackles, and front leafspring clamp and pinion aimed downward a bit, so not even a hint of wheel hop. I think axle wrap is pretty well minimized with a setup like this too. No need for helper bags either. Only thing I'd like to do next is 4-link and double adjustable coilovers!

 

It's a flip kit and drop shackles. I'm going to put the stock shackles back in so I can air down the bags a bit..

 

whaaaat that's supposed to be 7“ drop out back then! That's where I'm at and I nearly tuck tire out back with 275/45/20. Those bags must be holding up your *** end a good 2-3"! I can't imagine the ride being all that good unless you have a heavy load in the bed.
