shackle flip questions

[poda]

If I flip my rear shackles will I need longer shocks? Also will I have any problems with the factory bump stops? It looks like they would hit the frame if I lost height from the flip.

If you flip the shackle without any other mods it's going to lower the truck.

A shackle flip, Explorer 4 door leaf springs and a ranger 2.5" block gave me about 3" lift on my BroncoII.

Yes I want the truck lower, But will the stock shocks bottom out because they are farther up in there travel, when the trucks weight is on the suspension? Can I cut the bump stops off for clearance?

Yes they will bottom out and cutting your bumpstops down is just going to make the hit that much harder and result in broken parts or bent frame.

Since I gather this is going to be on a 4x4 I would just remove the block out back if you want the "Bro" look.

SHorter shocks from a 2wd will work just right. if you remove the block.

Not to High-jack the thread, But I can't find my Answer So I will ask you guys. If I do a shackel flip with chev. 64" Do I need to cut holes in the bed for the shackles.

Depends what shackles you use and were you locate the bracket.

Yes, if you use stock location. You have to do it with deaver packs so a pack twice the size will definantely need cut outs.
