Title: New Shackles
Post by: TaTtOo on October 24, 2006, 05:56:43 PM

Thinking about putting on some new shackles.... hopefully to get a bit of a better ride and another 1" of lift.  Any ideas on which ones to go with and whats involved to do this.  Everything I look at seems pretty straight forward.

Cheers
Lawrence

For a 1" lift shackle you need to go with something that is 2" longer.  I have been reading that anything greasable will help the ride.  I have been looking at MOREs 5/8" lift bommerang shackles myself

I do have 1" lift shackles right now but I find them too much in the front.  Also running booms in the front can help prevent shackle inversion
