Anyone thought of doing a flip kit?

[PunkChild]

I was thinking the other day about ways to lift an explorer. Anyone thought of fliping the axle under the leaf springs? You would have to get a longer driveshaft but you would get a lot of lift out of rear.

yup, i got one. so does everyone else with a 5.5" superlift

 

[expobronc]

driveshaft?

how much longer would the driveshaft need to be??

 

[Dannyboy]

I used stock, just make sure that the rear axle is straight to avoid vibes.
Where the heck in Iowa are you near

 

[expobronc]

location

near mason city about 20 miles south of minnesota right on I-35... the FLAT land

 

[Dannyboy]

Anywhere near Decorah, New Albin??? I am not too far away if so.

 

[expobronc]

location

probably about 2 hours straight west from decorah

i visit cresco every now and then which is about 20 miles west of decorah

 

[Dannyboy]

Anyplace to wheel around there?

 

[expobronc]

not really

there is a small *closed-off* trail just north of mason city that is kind of fun but nothing i would call chanenging the most challenge my expo sees is climbing the pile created by plowing the parking lot at work

Do you guys know of anywhere near CB Iowa or Omaha, NE?

 

[expobronc]

loses hills is somewhere to the extreme west end of iowa. they looked like some kick ass trails. i think you have to be a member of a certain club to ride it

Let me know if you find anything out about this. I would be interested in checking it out if it doesnt cost a bundle
