check out http://www.offroaddesign.com they have the 4in or 2.5in flip hangers.

 

[spoolnaround]

If you know of any parts trucks take the front hanger off by grinding or viva la torch and weld or bolt it in place of the rear hanger. Instant 4"

 

[chazflitton]

Will the front hanger bolt in the original hole in the rear. I checked out that site and they want $185 Dollars. <IMG SRC="smilies/usa.gif" border="0">

 

[misfit4x4]

yes they will but get them off a 3/4 ton there longer than 1/2 ton <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/blender.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/roxy.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/skull.gif" border="0">

See if this helps. I didn't look into how much lift it gives, but it's worth a look <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Lemme see if I got this straight: You take the front shackle mount off a 3/4 ton (the front? axle) and mount in the rear. Do you use the same bolt holes? Will a one ton shackle work? I Scoutdude's pictures worked, I wouldn't have to ask so many dumb questions.

You can also remove the rear shackle and cut the bottom out of the hanger then replace the shackle in a flipped position.

I checked out the site that Muddin Said and I an going to do it tonight I already have my spinrgs loose all i am waiting for is the cutting torch to take out the bottom section. I am also going to put gussets going up to the top for extra support. I will keep you updated on how it goes.

I just did this shackle flip.You end up with a much better ride cuz of the longer springs also.Its a Marv Springer set up http://www2.springersuspensions.com:81/ <IMG width=640 height=480 SRC="http://www.pirate4x4.com/ubb/uploads/dirt4.JPG">

 

[chazflitton]

I just cut the bottom out and turned the shackel over and it gave me 41/4" of lift it still has full range of motion and give me a better pinion angle also. <IMG SRC="smilies/usa.gif" border="0">

 

[chazflitton]

I dont have my rear end in yet. I am curios if I will have to get an extended driveline. I also have a 4" lift block?

Yeah Chris... when did ya stick that on, I don't recall seeing it at Hollister...? Am I missing something here? <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

 

[FRIZZLEFRY]

It was there in Holister.Its been there for about 6 years.The guys at the last Ford dealer used to bust my balls about drivin a chevy so I put it on there.It confuses the cops to.

 

[ChevyGal]

Dang I didn't see it at all... I must have been asleep! Of course I was too busy admiring your diff cover to notice the tail gate....might have to get one if it means confusing cops...! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I have been thinking about making kit that will flip the shackle down. I can cut the parts out on plazma table so they are clean and consistant. but i need a volunteer in the sac area( the guys at work like there lift blocks i guess?) the only thing i need is the money for materials, there are welders, gringers, ect. that i use. If anyone is interested please send me a PM or e-mail. I normally just do toyota stuff but i think that there is a great need for some thing like this. Thanks
