Im going to consider the shackle flip idea for sure, problem is that after looking on the ORD site I think when it is all done the kit will end up costing more than what I have (obviously we are talking higher quality parts, but it's a factor I have to consider)... I would literally pay someone just to figure out why my truck is so different from anyone else. I read up on people who put on 4 inch rough country kits on their K5's and/or M1009's without ANY of the problems I am having... I did a lot more research to determine if the springs I have are really correct and they all lead me to think it is just right. I saw youtube videos of folks putting on 6 inch lifts even without the problems I have. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this must be? Got binding issues, vibrations when I didn't have it minded and I have no clue why I have this and no one else does. My driveshaft is the right length (for stock that is) and it looks unaltered from its original configuration from the 80's. If I can't afford the shackle flip I might be interested in exchanging for a 2 inch lift, but the problem with that is that the 2 inch kit is MORE expensive, so I don't know what to do there. I am sure a wise person would have said to consider all those expenses and you'd be right, I should have. However after lifting 3 vehicles I never had a single problem. It's a shame too because I don't have folks around here with K5's or M1009's. I just dont have the confidence I need to try out a 4 inch kit, even if I straight up called defeat and paid someone to do it, because odds are they will run into the same problem and it'll be another fortune. I just don't get why my driveshaft is as steep as it is, why the yoke pulled out further than folks with a 6 inch lift kit, the binding, the angles not lining up even with a tcase drop, the need to reverse shims, and more... it's such a mystery... I would upload more pics if anyone needed it to try to help me figure this out! Just not sure what to upload!
