Spindles & shackle/hanger combo?

Well done, that thing is sharp! I always thought that would be about perfect for the rear, to get the axle above the springs and then push it up a little with a shackle to keep from having to cut the frame, and to retain some load capacity. I'm glad to see that it works. Maybe you can also let us know how it rides, compared to stock.

I wondered as well. My thought on my 3/4 ton was do the flip kit & relocate the rear shackle bracket down the appropriate amount for about a 6-7" drop vs. ~8".
Popping in a lift shackle sure would be easier :lol:
