Good idea or am I off my rocker?
I was going to put leveling springs on my 97 RWD but then I got this idea today. What if I was to do a shackle flip to lower the rear then put a 3" body lift on the truck. This would keep the front suspension stock without the resulting camber issues and give me about 1" inch more lift than the leveling springs.
So what do you guys think? What are the pros and cons of doing it this way? Would my load capacity be reduced for some reason as I do use the truck for the occasional heavy load?

the reason is that the F series 250 and up pick-ups utilize inverted shackles
the leaf spring eyes pull on the shackles and frame mounts rather than pushing on them
