I currently have a 6-8 inch CST lift on my 01 Z71. I intend to replace the rear blocks with lift springs. However, I am also considering going with ORD's Rear Shackle Flip Kit which gives you 4 inches and then using a shorter lift spring. ORD doesn't currently make this exact bracket. I had talked to them awhile back and they said they are working on it. They have one for the 2000 and up 2500s and 3500s. Apparently you can make these work with some modifications, but its not a direct bolt up like the rest of the kits.

What would the advantages be with this flip kit compared to a higher lift spring? Keep in mind that this isn't just a drop hanger, it changes the shackle from tension to compression mode. Will this give me better articulation than just a higher lift spring?
Finally, if anyone else is interested in doing this, we might be able to motivate them to put this into production if we had about 10 orders or so. Price should be around $180.
