Re: 2.25" Leaf Spring Flip and Upgrade

Wow! This forum is great. Thanks for your time spent in making this thread. I have a 71 gmc long bed with same 3/1 set up as you and have been searching for days for this info, just got my truck few months back and it is busting knuckle time. I have been under the truck several times with a tape guessing what would happen if I flipped my 3/1 leafs. Just looked as if it would be to close to the frame as opposed to other flips I have seen, I even contacted previous owner to ask if rear was stock because it wasnt adding up properly. After doing what you did, would lowering springs be cheaper, with same effect. I am running 18s tt2s and having the very same issue you had. I'm doing a full upgrade on the front as well all new. Any additional input would be very helpful to me. I will mass order what I need this weekend. Hopefully it will turn out as nice as yours. Some pics below of what I'm working with at the moment.
