Shackle lift
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?

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.

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.
