Unflipping rear axle.
Updating the thread: installed the -3 leaf springs, re-installed the -2 shackle and flipped the axle back over. Looks good to me. Re-installing quite a few things soon which may change it but good for now. Thanks for the help. Couple pics attached.- Seege

Unflipping rear axle.
Will do on the full check of things. I got a set of Western -3' leaf springs. That should put the height in the range I want, we'll see soon. On the driveshaft length, went from a 4 speed to a 4l80 auto so getting rid of the original driveline.- Seege

That distance is over 6 inches... putting the drop shackle back on will net 1.5 from that. So a net of just over 4.5 inches. Tough decision, I can see why people use airbags.- Seege

I put stock hangars back on it and gained back 1.5 inches. I still need almost 4 more inches. I need to...- Seege

1973 SB new to me
Hi All, Recently got started on this short bed revival. The previous owner did most of the rust repairs, replaced bushings, suspension and steering components and slammed it down a bit too low for me. It's getting a 6.0 LS/4l80 and most everything repaired and updated. Truck was also shortened...- Seege
