95 F-350 Shackle reversal, Anyone done it??

DHR Motorsports · Nov 28, 2010

I would like to do the shackle reversal on my f-350 and was wondering if anyone has done it on here??
Did you build your own or buy the kit??
$500 seems steep for all that the kit contains.
Any shortcuts or advice on what to do/not to do??

Thanks,
Darren

Sky's kit is the best bang for the buck. ORU makes one too but it's kinda cheezy compared to Sky's.

Why is it $500???

On a Chevy you just use front hangers for the rear springs in place of the rear shackle hangers... Really simple... And free...:redneck:

I'm betting you could do it the same way... If you leave the hanger in the same spot, you'll need longer springs to get a decent shackle angle...

You can buy longer shackles as well, but I just built mine...

Gives you between a 4-6" lift with stock springs and no blocks...

I built my own Zero Rates as well, but didn't end up using them... Waiting to see if the springs start to sag...
