Shackle Flip Kit

Hi All,

I'm looking at the Dodgeoffroad rear shackle flip kit but they don't seem to want to return any inquiries.
Does anyone have this on their truck and is it worth going to so the ride softens a bit?

Thanks,

I lowered and flipped the stock stuff... when I put full 2ndgen stuff in the back of my 1stgen. Been very happy with the ride.

Lowered? doesn't the shackle flip increase height?

Lowering the front hanger (on the frame) and flipping the rear hanger makes for lift.

I see what you mean now.
I was thinking this one.

I didn't have a $600USD budget... (plus freight).

I suggest lowering the front hanger anyway to keep the spring level. Then your wheelbase stays the same and you don't invite strange handling when towing.
