So have any of you Sweptline guys ever flipped the rear springs in the back. Moving the spring from the stock on top of the rear position to under the housing like a car. Seems like a nice simple easy way to lower the back of the truck. Any thoughts, concerns etc??

Some have and say that the ride is better. Iv looked at mine and Id be worried about the axle smacking the frace. I dont to C notch it so I just used the lowering shackles in the rear. The way my truck squats under hard acceleration Im keeping it the way it is now..


I am truckless..

Several guys do the axle flip. Only problem on the swelling trucks is getting the front down

Front is already done...Although we have been thinking of redoing it with something a bit more modern.

I made longer rear shcakles on one of my swepts, I think the center of the axle hits the bed wood now, but I have yet to feel it hit the frame. I have a diplomat stub in that truck, so It lowered it nice.





what it looked like before.
