I have a 95 F250 PSD with a dana 60 conversion and a 6" suspension lift. I want MORE!!!! How much could i lift it by using or making a reverse shackle kit. Anyone done this? Anyone have pictures? Advice?

 

I think you gain about 3 or so inches if you buy thesky kit, maybe cutts can chime in on how much he got when he did his.

 

I believe you mean shackle flip, but yea, @3" is a safe number.

 

Ohh, i thought he meant a shackle reversal, which he could do as well.

 

I believe the 95s already have the shackles in the rear position, which is why I figured he meant shackle flip.

 

I've always thought that they had the shackles up front, as every truck i've seen had it set up that way, and thus the reason for the kits, but maybe they're for the earlier trucks.

 

The "highboys" are set up like that, but I know that starting with at least '78 they started putting the shackle in the rear. Don't know why it took them that long to figure out it was a better setup. I'm no expert with the new stuff so I'm guessing the 95 is in the rear but it seems to be a safe ASSumption.

 

Sky's is for the 92's-97's...97s were coothzy too...

 

I'm drunk enough to have no idea what your talking about

What, did they go back to a lame shackles in the front setup in the mid 90's? Friggin Ford...

Bet you two dollars to a donut he's still talking about a shackle reversal tho~

 

I don't lknow what years but I know they switched back to the front shaclkes on the newer trucks. A guy stopped by the other day to buy my tires and he had a 95 with front shackles. Makes me cringe looking at them,.

 

no he is referring to the shackle reversal.

as far as i know from 80-97 all F250's/350's have the shackle in the front (of the front suspension) doing the shackle reversal adds anywhere from 2 to 6" depending on where you buy them and if you make your own. the shackle FLIP kit gives you somwhere around 3-4" depending on the size of your shackle... the smaller the shakcle the less lift you will gain.

-cutts-

 

Sorry, Thats was meaning that up to 97 had hte stupid front shackles - 99 htey switched. He needs Sky's kit...

 

Holy crap. Granted, I was drinking last night, but even I did it. I meant shackle FLIP. I started this whole thing to clarify the differences between the two since people get the terminology confused all the time and there I go...
