Front Spring Flip
As many of you know I have completed the rear spring flip and SOA on my FJ40. I am starting work on the front now. I have a shackle reversal on the front. I thought in doing my research I read that you want the military wrap on the side of the spring pack that is bolted to the frame. Due to my shackle reversal, this would mean that I can just spin the whole spring pack around and bolt it back up, correct? The military wrap would then be located in front, where my shackle reversal connects to the frame rather than the rear where I have a shackle.
Thanks!

youll proabaly need a longer drive line, and brake line possibly, the extra wheelbase is nice so its worth it...

Who sells the rear fender flares that fit after cutting the wheel wells to accomodate a spring flip?

Most run the TJ flares for a j**p
Youll be very happy with flipped springs front and rear.
