I should have done the flip from the start. But I bought hangers and shackles. I cant do a flip ontop of this kit already.

Remove this drop shackle, put factory shackle back on and do the flip. Ta-da

And if it's too low still after that then you might be able to get lift shackles to put on it so it raises the back up to where it needs to be for You

It really depends on how deep the scratches are. From what I read up on that polish, its more of a finishing polish. Which means it will remove light scratches and swirls. You may need a deeper cutting polish if the scratches are real deep. I've got a hole wealth of knowledge to help you with though, I just don't have time to type it all right now. I'll pm you tomorrow and give you some tips on the polisher. And thanks for the compliment, I try to keep the thundah looking good. haha





Those are my favorite too. And [MENTION=102470]FordmanUGA[/MENTION], they are eagle alloy 079. Yes, I know what you're thinking, they would look great on your truck.
When you pm him about all of that can you send it to me too? Lol I could use the tips and all too. I just need to get a good buffer to use and I need to pick up some compound to use once I know what I need to get for the collection of scratches all over my truck lol

I had to cut off the hangers so I'm basically **** out of luck until I get stock ones again.
