Title: Upper Strut Retainer Flip
Post by: Bogger4life on January 02, 2007, 11:10:24 PM

flipping the strut mounts will not give you any lift. the reason for doing this is to allow the strut to fully extend when the vehicle has been lifted, to keep proper suspension travel, and possibly keep from destroying the strut while flexing.  if you want a simple lift, put in some coil spacers, like Digger's lift kit

think i seen a post some were that said you could get 1" lift with the flip and adding a 1" like spacers between the ball joint and a arm. i don't like this type of lift ,but to each there own.

Flipping the strut doesn't give any more travel, it simply allows the front wheels to drop further which restores some sag to the suspension.
