One $500 tow bill and a $2k in a "built" tranny was enough for me.

His rear shocks are 24.5" long he isnt topping them out

To get most from your rear shocks you need to have them doing the same job....in stock form the rear shocks are doing rebound and compression at same time

By making them both going same direction, they now do the same job.

Shock mounts i run are from A.R.T. and i braced them

As for saying the traction bar changes instant center that is wrong....you can not change it by traction bars...the instant center is based off front spring eye. Raising the front eye up works best on leaf spring setup

I chose to keep a non flip kit cause of this. My front leaf eye is raised up since i use hangers
