Looks like I'm going to finally get around to doing the shackle reversal on my 89 Bronco. I was hoping somebody out there might be able to answer the following -

All things considered, how much additional lift can I expect from flipping the stock Bronco shackles over?

Are there shackles off of other Ford trucks that are longer that would give me some additional lift if needed?

Ideally I could then get rid of the rear blocks, but I think that's gonna take new custom springs. I've already taken out he add-a-leafs - didn't like the way they rode.

I was going to shoot pictures of the whole process. If the interest is there I'll redo one of my galleries with them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Here's a couple of web pages that explain it pretty good.

Hope these help and Good Luck,
