Silverado flip kit install

When you place your axle on top of the leaf springs there are two very important things to consider. Say what? Gets longer, how? If you were to support your truck by placing jack stands under the frame both sides in the rear. Then, with a floor jack supporting the rear end, remove the lower shock bolts and let the rear end down with the floor jack and look at the splined slip joint, you will see a fully extended slip joint.

Now slowly jack the rear end up with the floor jack and watch the slip joint contract. If you could jack the rear end up to the point where it was level with the transmission the splines might completely disappear and the drive shaft would be forced into the transmission. There is a hole in the factory axle locator which is centered, and you will see that the hole in the axle locator from the flip kit is offset. That is how the flip kit moves the axle back away from the transmission.

If you are pushing it back up with shackles or bags, you may not need it. Hopefully this thread isn't dead, I was kind of hoping the OP had a few more pics and if he did the additional 2 inches in the rear.?

I am also interested in this topic. Did you find a resolution? The problem is even if you can find a 2" lift shackle there still will be very limited travel in the rear. If someone made a good set of 2" dropped leaf springs along with a 2" drop shackle that would keep the rear under the leaf spring and the rear would still have decent travel.
