u-bolt flip kit

what is it and what does it do i keep reading that people are doing this and the only thing that comes to my mind is when you do a axle flip you know axle over the leafe and you flip it with u-bolt flip kits and the axle is now under the leafs

if you could post a picture of before and after that would help out alot thank you everyone

I think it just gains some clearance and will keep the u-bolts from hanging up on things under the truck as well as moving the shock mounts up above the axle, but I dunno honetsly

I too would like to see some before and after pics...

Actually you don't have to do anything to the steering. The pain is you have to weld new shock mounts.

It's hard to see but in this picture you can see where the shock mount and u bolt holder hang down.

And in this one it's smoother so that if you happen to go over a rock too quick it doesn't rip your shocks and or u bolts off leaving you screwed.
