Shackle flip.

Started mocking up my rear suspension have a few clearance issues just from the way I cut my shackles not a big deal. Used different leafs with some custom shackle flip bracket, everything is tacked together to see how everything is going sit while I wait for my new front spring hangers. I most likely will be removing the stock rear block and just putting in a pinion shim. After Im all done I will put my air bags on the truck.
