Nice pics guys.

I have a couple of questions re the u bolt flips.......

1. Are they worth it? I find that I tend to get hung upe where pthers don't due to the front extended shackles and also on the shock mount.

2. Do you have to weld new perches to the top of the axle housing?

3. Do the front shock hoops and rear shock bar improve things that much?

Cheers guys.

the u-bolt flips are great. i've never really got hung up on them, but i've snapped u bolts when my grossly overweight truck landed on them on the rocks. Tore the ends off them and made them look like spagetti. yes - they're worth it.

The only time I ever got hung up was on the old lower shocky mounting plates. Therefore they had to go. The rear shocky bar mod alows very long shockies thus alowing you to get the travel you need. You have to put the front shock hoops onto to do the flip kit as you are taking away the old mounting plates. Not sure if you can do flip kits without. I think you will end up with shorter shockies and thus less travel. All in all it works great and I am happy with the result.

Looks tidy mac1cruz. With the locker dosen't need to get much flex as you just keep crawling with a wheel lifted. Anybody else got some good pics of 75 series??
