Rear spring shackle flip
Has anyone flipped the rear spring shackles on and f250. How much lift does it provide? What are the pro's and con's to this? Also what about lengthening the front spring shackles to get a little lift in the fron?

for every inch of shackle you add, you get .5 inches of lift

Rear spring shackle flip
Flipped them on a Bronco, never had any problem. I ground the rivets off and replaced them with grade 8 bolts. I've heard that you can have trouble with the springs over arching on an off camber situation and jamming to the front, I never had it happen and I put that truck through heck....but don't say I didn't warn you lol. Seems like I've read about welding a stop on the shackle bracket to stop this...just never had to do it myself. Whit
