the shackle flip and axle floped on top of the springs sets it right up for caltracs and lowers the truck 4-5 inches,it will give a nice drag truck stance,ride much better. a few of the high HP trucks are running the flip flop,I did mine this way after seeing member 'clutch' blue drag truck with a wheels up launch. very ez to do and uses all stock truck/car parts. hers a shot of the shackle flip,you use a set of front spring hangers on the back,use car shock plates and u-bolts,wagon shocks...and now would be the time in your build as it apart and ez to get at.

its a tad lower than I like but it sure lifts and hooks so far. IMHO,the lift bars do the same thing a caltrac does,just applys pressure on the spring from the bottom instead of the top. may not be as good as a caltrac set up but it has the old skool slapper bar look I was after. my front is higher than the rear so I am going to drop the front 1 or 2 inches next.
