was thinking of Bc broncos front 3.5" coils and maybe the spring pivots for the rear, but what other cheaper options do I have? can you flip shackles on this? I dont want to spend 400 bucs on new springs. what about add a leaf. they will be stiff right?
what different things have you guys done to lift the rear end?

I had a shackel flip in the rear before I went to coils and it was ok except that there was a ton of axel wrap, if you do it make sure you do something to control the rear end or you will need a bunch replacement springs.

high lift. ha ha ha.

The best way to do it is the $$ springs. Lots of articulation and less axle wrap. You can go with the F150 or Ch*vy springs, but you will want a track bar. Shackle flip will work but like Steve said, more axle wrap. In the end, you'll spend the same $$ and less work if you go with the Nationals.

I was going to do the shackle flip on top of some 3.5 Nationals that i got for free and remove a couple leafs to drop it down to 2" plus the flip should give me 5.5"

You'd better make a track bar if you're going to do a shackle flip and remove leafs!

Saw a EB in Moab that ran a rear four link with the Duffs 3.5" coils, and man did it flex. No axle wrap either. Just another option.:)
