Re: Will shackle flip affect towing capacity?

Alot of the new trucks are rolling off the production line with the shackles fliped, sometimes just because the factory does it dosn't mean its right. Car and truck designers look at alot of things that the aftermarket community is doing and work it into there new designs.
I have a shackle flip on my 72 and it hasn't effected my towing at all. I've used the truck to tow a Cat skidsteer just last week.
