Rear shackle flip.

[Iron Horse]

Has anyone done a rear shackle flip? I can see what would have to be done (the obvious stuff), but I'm not sure of what other "problems" that I'd be opening up. It looks like you'd need to "cut" out the bottom of the boxed mount and then box the top in? Also, speaking of shackles, who makes aftermarket shackles (read as slightly longer and greaseable) for FSJ's.

http://www.fullsizejeep.com/ is Frank Almaas' homepage... go to the suspension link and look what he did as well.... I thought of this, but would not yield the amount of lift I wanted/needed.

Older shackle mounts use a stud instead of the box. These are easy to flip but driveline angles will have to be addressed.
