Axle flip with a shackle flip

[95 b2300]

Good evening . First off let me say sorry if this has been covered already. Second we are working w a 95 b2300 . Dream beams and 1 & 1/2 coils cut from stock coils . Camber correction at it max but within spec caster is out but truck drives very well . In the rear I did an axle flip . Now I got about 5 in drop in the front & 5 w the axle flip in the rear . The rear sit about 1 to 2 inches higher, so here's my question ... Can I flip my shackles also to get the extra 1 to 2 in the rear ? My biggest fear sis drive shaft clearance. I'm going to do the c notches mon night . Btw the truck sits really well now just want that little more but then again when is it really enough! Thanks, Rich

Yes, the shackle flip will give about an extra 1.5-2 inches iirc. You will need that notch. Not sure about the cab interference. Some people have raised the back part of the tunnel for extra clearance, but can't recall amount of drop.

To answer your rhetorical question, 3/3 should be about enough for me.

Hope the raising the cab tunnel is mostly for the extra cabs . This truck is not . Anyone ever run into a steering stop problem w the djm beams . I'm also running 17" mustang wheels 245/45/17 . When turned all the way the rim hits the beam , still working out the best steering stop . I was thinking about making the bottom caliper bracket bolt longer ?

Ok . So b I did the c notch tonight . The Worst Part Was The Drilling . Thorbos c notch. While I was at it I figured what the heck let's flip the shackels. And ..... 1.5 inches lower . Now this rig sit level . 245/45/17 all around
