I agree with what other said above. The lift and tires themselves have more bearing on towing ability than the shackle flip. The Dodge Ram has the shackles flip straight from the factory and Workhorse has the shackles flipped on their RV chassis with GVW ranges from 15,000 to 26,000 lbs. I don’t see the shackle direction having anything to do with towing.

Steve,

Yes, I did notice a ride quality change when I did my ORD shackle flip. For the first year or so I ran the stock short bed 52” springs with the shackles flipped then later swapped in a set of 56” ¾ ton long bed springs. The shackle flip made the stock 52” springs ride so much better but the big gain in ride quality was moving to the 56” springs. You would be surprised how well my K10 rides, especially with the weight of the camper on it. Air the tires down to 10 psi and it floats on the trail like a Cadillac. Zoomad can attest to that.
