another ttb shackle flip thread
what all is needed to do this?
obviously the actual shackle flip, for front and rear, the drop bracket for the front, the front mount that has the bar going across( cant think of the name right now) possibly a drop pitman arm, longer shocks, and some paint? while your at it a steering stabilizer?
do they actually help?

First off, we are talking about a f250 here.
There are no shackle flip threads for the ttb. You could possibly do a shackle reversal, but not many people do it because you have to buy the dropped pitman arm and the drop pivot brackets and extended length shocks, so by the time you do that you might as well buy the lift kit with the springs in it. But if you want to go to the trouble or happen to already have some of this stuff, you could do it if you buy the reversal kit.
The shackle flip is for the rear. Instead of the shackle being on the top, the brackets you buy and mount to the frame put the shackle on the bottom. There are problems with this though. It throws your pinion angle off on the rearend, but I think the last time I went to their site(sky manufacturing) that offered shims to bring the pinion back to where it's supposed to be. And it also moves the rear wheels forward in the wheelwell some, I don't know how noticeable it is, but some people say something about it.
