yep. did the flip. im gonna call godfather customs tomorrow and see if they will send out a pair of the 4 inch shackles so i can swap those. i took it for a test drive and everything seems to be in good order. i have a small drive line vibration going on from incorrect pinion angle. im gonna wait till i get the new shackles before i correct the pinion angle since it will change when i put on the new shackles. im happy with the front of the truck but the rear is just way too low for my tastes.

did your truck have factory lift blocks in it?? Could be why the rear is sitting lower, you have to buy a new front hanger.

So you need the really short shackles to lift the rear up a bit.
