how big of tires are you looking to clear? IM at 25'' and 53'' tires I think are gunna be to close for me, I like them long bellow the body line. mine will work just would like to flex out with 53s but aint gunna happen there way to heavy, better limit your travel, up and down.
I put the forklift under one tire and just started going up, well lets say the axles so heavy it wont lift any others (i thought it was gunna twist my frame it was so bad, im doing subframe to just to be safe.

TopFist · October 26, 2010, 05:58:24 AM

Those are the same shackles I was looking to buy. How do you like them?

2trackr · October 26, 2010, 12:20:19 PM

havent got them on the truck yet, but the craftsmanship is really good, altho they dont have greese zurks in them like the website shows, but thats no biggy i can dril and tap that myself if i want them

2trackr · October 27, 2010, 03:13:04 AM

i doubt it, i still need to recenter my rims, need full hydro steering, need brake(s?), need a manual valve body for the trans and might put my 3" body lift on
