Did you get a chance to try the 3/4 kit on a 1/2 ton yet?

 

[Dark Eternal]

it looks like it will work, you just cant use all the bolts. The half tons have 4 bolts holdin the hanger on and the HDs have 6, so teh top 2 just wont bolt in and it hangs over the top of the frame. I can test fit it tomarow and take pics for ya. It should be plenty strong still, catch is you might havbe to have a bodylift for it to have room at the top. Ill find out tomarow.

If they ever get around to doing it. How many of you guys would be interested? Maybe if we get enough orders, say around 10, they will go ahead and get it into production.

Im sure there would be enough people on this site if you get the word around andn let everyone know the advantages of a shackle flip.

FWIW, I talked to him a week or so ago. The plan is to have this kit out by the end of the year.

ok heres the deal, the pipe crossmember sticks outs past the outside of the frame and needs to be grinded down flat and then re-welded on the inside of the frame rain for support, not a big deal but a hours worth of work. Other than that the 4 lower bolts bolts right up.
