Offroad design shackle flips

I have a set of offroad design shackle flips for a 89-98 chevy silverado with 6 inch super shackles. The leafs on my truck are 3 inches wide and the shackle opening is also 3 inches. Would i be able to make this work? Would the shackle flip effect the trucks ride and towing?

I wondered about this idea too. I had the same on my Chevy. If I'm thinking about the same principals, you'll want to watch out for your pinion angle as well as a slight shift in the axle forward in the wheel well (I think that what;s the result was). I know my Chevrolet rode like a brick but I also had stock rear springs and had terrible shocks on it. No idea how it would affect load carrying or heavy towing. I didn't do the types of thing with that truck that I do with my current truck. I load this truck to capacity to haul materials in the bed. Never did that on the Chevy, different time in my life.

The irony of that statement is not lost on me as I post this pic
