Repetition eventually even those who don't want to lower their trucks will know how to.

so i see some guys buy lowering shackles and some guys flip the axle,are these both correct or is one way better than the other?

secondly,i assume this swap works in reverse?i have a van i want to raise for tire clearance and this month i will be gettin a /6 truck i want lower so would this be a feasable crossover weekend swap in a driveway with basic tools and a pistol drill?

A good elder is needed to weld on new spring perched and also new U-bolts and car spring plates for axle flip to lower. Not failure with vans. If the leaf is under the axle that yes you can lift it by putting the leaf on top of the axle. New perched will need welded on and you actually might be able to just swap spring plates between van and truck along as the van is indeed axle over spring as All fullsize trucks 72-93 are axle under spring. Also need to correct opinion angle

i was going to lift the van with a stock ramcharger block in the rear and raise the front with a truck lca and lower the truck with the van lca and flip the rear axle.

but now that you mention it id still have to buy bolts for the truck so maybe the hangers is the way to go.more clearance that way as well.

I don't have any more pictures of the truck as a matter fact I don't even have that truck anymore but would be glad to answer any questions you have. It's really a fairly easy project, but any thing you need to know ask away. beer

On a side note I just ordered a Belltech lowering kit for my 14 Ram R/T and will be installing it right after Carlisle. I could document all the good, bad and the ugly of all of it and could share it here if anyone has any interest. dakota sawzall runaway
