Shackle Kit GB?

[BeachBoy]

Anyone interested on the shackle flip kit fire931 builds?

I am buying his rear bumper so I can try to save on shipping

They go for $100 USD plus $10 shipping. We could likely save on shipping and I would probably be able to bring them back from Montana with the bumper (no tax or duties/customs).

I think i'll spring for this Etienne! Thank you for organizing this! This way I'll get my 1" or so back that Chris has...haha plus more flex!

Where did you ship yours too?

I will get them shipped to a forwarding co in Montana, and pick up with the rear bumper.

If we get a few in we might save a little bit or at least the 10$ shipping.

I'm hoping my shocks will be long enough for this or i'll have to use limiting straps.

I will be looking into this too. Might move the mount and put longer bump stops. Same travel, more articulation.

you won't have to move your bump stops only if you're running a bigger tire...unless you don't have extended bumpstops already with your new rear set up. You should have more up travel in the shocks with the shackle flip which doesn't really matter. It's more the down travel that will be limited.

I bet we'd have to run a 12-14" shock with the lower shock mount welded lower on the axle and an upper mount moved higher. The placement of the shocks outboard like it is now doesn't allow for very good articulation. The shocks should be inside the frame in this / \ arrangement.

It'll decrease ride comfort but allow for the proper articulation.
