Looked thru every place I can find. Nothing about keeping stock rear springs and doing max lift with shackle flip + whatever else can be done in the rear for lift etc. Absoulutly no body lift though. Then setting up front end with correct spring height and best steering correction option. I plan on contacting ORD today and getting the correct parts list and ordering. I will update this thread with complete details and pics throughout build for everyones reference in the future. If anyone has experiance with this please post to help me. Thanks Mickey

On my first M1010 I did the ORD shackle flip and it worked great and doesn't change the load rating. I believe it was the 2.5" version. I think they also offer a 4" version.

I am needing a little bit larger tire on my M1010. Did you find the 2.5" shackle flip was good for that? Did it affect the ride or steering?
Haven't ordered yet. Getting ORD to help me build it to fit 36.5 or 39.5 TSL's. I'll be updating build throughout summer with pic's for everyone's future reference

Thanks for the update. I put 33" tires on it and they fit fine without any suspension changes but I am interested in what your thoughts are after you get the ORD 2.5 flip kit in.

Have you completed this upgrade yet?
Okay I got delayed on the ORD lift system order but I am finally pulling the trigger this month. Money is in hand now and the LS 6.0 is at the shop. I'm going to call ORD to help me nail down the parts for the build but if y'all know what to get it sure would help. What I think I know is I'm doing with the 4" rear shackle flip and then basing the rear ORD spring height to level out with the ORD front springs . What actual lift height I will get I have no idea. If you know let me know. Thanks

Are you keeping stock length springs front and rear?

I went with hangers from CFM industries that allows the use of 64" springs out back and 56" and mounts in the stock location
