Aww, I feel loved! I will definitely keep you posted on this thread so check back then.

EDIT: any ideas on what color I should paint them? (they come in raw steel, they have to be painted) I was thinking yellow to match my yellow smiley face painted on my rear diff

I like rlh's idea...always good to stay clear of the pig hunters.

Hey, it would be unique.

alright...i got my flip kit in...took about 3 hours (by myself)! I have tried it on the rocks and it flexes so much better! I used just the stock blocks under it but I am gonna put my 3" lift blocks cause i am still sitting a lil low in the rear. My digi-cam is dead so i have no camera right now, but i will get pics up ASAP!

-Jason-

PS i went with yellow so i didn't waste the rest of the can from when I painted a smiley on my rear diff cover

so, does it seem plauseable to just take the shackels from one side of the truck, flip them over, and put them on the other side, and bolt everything up, you shoudl get about 5 inches of lift out of it, plus a lot of flex. and all youll need it new bolts. what you all think??
