ohhh now i see... i looked at the link in your sig... well Either way its cool for me... might be hard getting used to adrian... i think ill used fredrian...

Well deff dont mind you venturing on down here more fredrian...

 

Nice write up. I have to spread the rep around before I can rep you.

 

Thanks.

Is he still moving to LA?

 

He is.

He lands on the 8th.


(feels weird talking about yourself in the 3rd person)

 

Well I hope he has a safe and uneventful flight to the states.

(what are you talking about? I was talking about Fred )

 

I'm lost. Fredrian, you going to Louisiana or Los Angeles?

 

Either way he better come to mudfest to meet and moderate the minions in person!

 

Los Angeles

 

haha, ok. Just curious.

 

On the issue with moving the front hanger back: You just have to keep in mind, that depending on how much lift you have already, in combo with the flip, you could be pushing the limits on the extension of the driveshaft. Pushing it back another 2 inches could multiply that. =Boom.

 

The shackle flip actually rotates the axle forward, so you don't need to worry about driveshafts. It ends up being roughly the same length after you're 4inches higher.

 

the shackle flip DOES push the axle forward, but it also lowers it that 4 inches, and when/if you move the assy. back 2 inches, that combines with it. If you already have say 4 inch springs, it could get hairy under full droop. Just some food for thought.

 

True, it will be just like an 8inch leaf pack if you relocate the front bracket and already have the 4" springs.

 

I'm almost done with the flip myself....

Man those factory rivets are a beoch, they put up a fight.

Oh, and I'm sure you don't want to hear it, but the body lift made it REALLY nice to access the upper rivets, since I didn't have the bed off for this...

 

Yes, they are a pain. Grinding down and air hammer works well.

and you're lucky it didn't snap off the mounts and smash your hand just sittin there!
