If you flip the shackle, it will essentially lower it 3" and go right back to stock height.
Right, if I were to flip it, I'll make my own shackel mount to drop it where it needs to be (Might have to do that regardless).
How much too high are you back there?
I was a wee bit tired last night, so I didn't get around to measuring anything
If you were to make your own shackle mount, you could ultimately fine tune your ride height by dropping the shackle mount accordingly. Same goes for leaving it like the stock, unflipped way. You've got ~1" to play with that you can move the shackle mount up 'til it hits the bottom of the box. If any of this makes sense...
Yup, makes sense, and I'm not afraid to clearance the bed if need be.
So it goes back to
is there any benefit articulation wise to flipping the rear shackle with the stock 63" pack?
In my mind I’m thinking it
is worth flipping the shackle with the stock pack as it
should get rid of the “jacking” that is inherit of the stock setup. This
should help keep the body “flatter” as it flexes out.
Or am I ass backwards on this train of thought?
High jacking my own thread here for a second. I plan on replacing the clutch when I do the doubler (Seems as though the pilot bushing is going out, may as well get at it). And I read about a lot of slave failures. That said:
Who makes the best slave for these trucks? Is it worth the money to pony up and buy the ford part?
I recall finding a thread on the different slaves, but I’m having trouble finding it again. Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks again for the comments and help guys!
