Colorado B.S. Thread

I have about 12" travel w shackle flip and relocated top and bottom mounts, 14" shocks

 

I do

 

Really only 12??? I would have thought you would have been doing better then that.
I was measuring about 13.5" of travel with the 12" shocks at the end of the tire to fender



Then there is the front...

 

Yea might be moor now that the aal is broken in

 

Well I have no idea where you'd go then. A word of advice, I've never heard of anyone going NG after and NOT hating it. At least in colorado.

 

Anybody interested in taco Tuesday tonight?

 

Did you guys actually cycle your suspension, or how are you coming up with actual travel numbers based on these poser shots?


Oh, and your shackle flips are only moving the mounting point of the leafs and don't change travel numbers.

 

But longer shackles do, and how dont they? Im getting more arc travel out of my shackels then a factory setup soooo

 

Still no. Again, longer shackles are only changing the mounting point. All you're doing is changing the range of motion of the leafs further away from the frame. This assumes you have them bumped correctly as well.

Length of leafs determines travel, and the stock shackles provide enough range of motion for stock length springs.

 

That did catch my eye this morning when I got the email, but pretty sold on the Yorktown. Need to contact them and let me see if they will let me resell them......

 

I will have both after this fishing trip

 

you where either lucky or unlucky when my box showed up that one day. I like it a lot super simple always have my tools, I like the new pack too!

 

I have to disagree, with a more centered location of frame side shackle mounting and longer shackles you will still maintain the same compression of the spring but you will be able to arch your spings more on the droop, yes longer springs will gain more travel but thats because of length of lever arm... no shit it will work better.

The factory shackel gives you about 30 degrees of travle rear and ~45 degrees forward. Flip them and you can go a full 90 degrees rear under compression and just below tangent of the spring at the springs arch..

Why do the long travle trucks have 9" + long shackels on the back? If their 63 inch spring pack and full arch under the axle are doing all the work.. the shackles are there to provide the horizontal travle for the springs to move vertically

 

You need 5000$ of an initial buy in to become a dealer for them

 

OUCH! When John owned Eagle is was like $500

well, question asked. we'll see

 

Someone had posted it prior to that, Just seeing the actually quality at your place sold me on it.

 

Run a group buy, Colorado alone might get you $5K
