Hello. As you can see I have an issue with the suspension on my truck, the back and is definitely hiked up after I installed new lift springs. Any ideas on a lowering bracket for the shackle flips? Advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi Jessica welcome to the site.
So you must have noticed you have shackle flip brackets as your thread title mentions. And so you're adding lift spring under these perches?
The only 'lowering bracket' would be the original stock bracket.
Usually we use the stock springs with a shackle flip, and a zero-rate block to move the axle back an inch.

Can you list the parts you used for the whole truck? What front springs did you order? Did you order new springs and the shackle flip at the same time? What length shackles? Which shackle flip? 2.5" or 4"...

My quick answer would be just put the stock rear springs on.

A shackle flip is just another way to lift you truck.

I wouldn't mind the rake as much as how it looks like the axle is closer to the front and off center in the wheel well. Good luck, answer the questions above and someone will know exactly what you need.

Hi and welcome. To be sure someone here still has their stock shackle hangers left over from a shackle flip conversion.

Looks like a 4” shackle flip and an 8” skyjacker spring...based on the sticker.

What is the lift supposed to be up front? The rear is essentially a 12” lift.

A zero rate will correct this, but lifts up the vehicle 1".

Or if 1" is too much they have a 1/4" plate:

9 times out of 10 that's a good thing.
Stick one up front too, and move that axle forward as well. They like it, and gives more tire clearance where it's needed. Trim some of the 'tooth'
of the fender, Without crazy twisting you can fit 35s like this.
