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.

I'm glad you posted that. My CC SWB has 56" rears and a shackle flip. I was curious how it would ride with those beefy springs. We shall see I guess.
