Hope to get started on this very soon as I have the brackets but need to modify them slightly. Would love to hear from others who have done this and any pitfalls. I plan on getting enough out of the flip to ditch the 5.5" stacked block and go to a stock height but tapered and unitized block and accommodate the softer spring rate by either adding shackle length or a slightly taller block than stock. Have to do some good measuring first. An idea I had also was to modify the overload spring bump stops to continue functioning for the time being until I can afford a set of helper bags. I won't personally be sure its possible until its all done and have a good look at the finished flip set up. More to come.

Don't do the flip unless you run the longer 2013+ springs IMO
There is a 2.5" flip that would be okay.
Anything over that rolls the axle foward into the wheel opening.

I didn't know the 2013 springs were longer. I'm still debating the best way to accomplish what I want. I need the axle moved forward just a bit and don't want to screw the pinion angle to much with a big bracket flip and then have to do angle shims or angled blocks. The biggest issue I have is the 5" block stacked on the 3" block. It's not as worrisome now that the traction bars are on but I'd like to get it changed. I am also pondering 6" lift springs if I can get them at a decent price. Need to check AK Spring since anything online is has ridiculous freight.
