Re: 2.25" Leaf Spring Flip and Upgrade
What’s up all, so I just did a flip kit, I left shocks installed where they were and I got a lot of axle hitting, so I relocated them just like u said to the other hole, now it lifted it higher but no axle hitting. The ride is now super stiff any help?

Re: 2.25" Leaf Spring Flip and Upgrade
A little extra weight in the back helps as does a rear strut bar. Leaf back is gonna be tight though. Glad your not hitting! I put the cpp rear bar on and it handles better with a little less bump but not much.

Re: 2.25" Leaf Spring Flip and Upgrade
Look at clp-cp7402u-blac at summit racing for the rear bar

Re: 2.25" Leaf Spring Flip and Upgrade
If it was working with the other shocks I'd just switch back. There is a proper way to measure, I've just never bothered. Search the forum.

Take a measurement between the upper & lower mounts (w/full weight on the vehicle). Then look for a shock where that measurement is as close to the midpoint of the fully extended/fully compressed dimensions.
