    I don’t think that’s right but I’ve never really paid attention to how much droop a stock pack has with poly bushing shackles.

    Eric will likely know better.

    Thought it might help. Didn't really look at the rear Fab work.

    I like the helpful spirit. Sorry to bust your balls a little and don’t let that discourage you from helping others. We need more like you and less like these dumpster fire threads you see around.

    Thank you! I have just seen so many setups and shackle angles in all 73 pages I don’t know if I’m on the right track

    My set up would be similar to yours when I install my hangers this weekend. Stock tsb leafs, 1in add a leaf from archive, Energy suspension bushings and Bilstien 5160 rear shocks. I wouldn't expect the flex to be that much but im also planning on installing a rear sway bar too so that would limit it. I could take a pic after install to see if I net the same results.

    I think you're jacking it up wrong to test full droop. I like to let the axle hang straight down.
    However, I have been putting this out there a long time, the stock leaf packs are flatties, no arch, which is the drawback to keeping them. They're stuck around 10" travel.

    Here's a measurement I got on my truck with fully stock leaves and Hammer hangers at full droop: ~15.5" from top of axle tube to bottom of frame rails (leaf limited).

    Go Rhino Dominator side steps, OEM black bumper ends and black grill trim, Wet Okole seat covers, Decked drawer system, Snugtop Rebel AVS hood deflector, Baja Rack (Cab), Yakima Snugtop crossbars.
    So just so that I understand correctly....in addition to cutting part of the offending leaf, the HH needs to be installed to correct the issue with leaf wedging into the shackles?

    what happens if just the leaf is cut and not install the HH?

    Incorrect, just correct the problem with Dakars, the design. Hh go in factory rivet holes.
    If you don't install Hh, you don't get the benefit in ride and durability

    In case anyone hasn’t been able to hear a video where you can hear the leaf becoming hung up on the hanger and then FLUNK-THOINK’ing free. I uploaded a video where my truck does it in 2 separate cases. Maybe this helps. Just wanted to share. Either way, just installing Archives poly bushings has helped flex a lot with stock shackles and hangers but my hammer hangers will make a much bigger difference. Thanks again for the great products and service, Eric.

    Short video where you can hear the leaf doing this.

    I could be wrong but I would like to guess that your bp51 shocks are so short, they will limit your travel long before your springs get so droop-extended to actually catch on the oem hanger. The bp51’s are some of the shortest fancy rear shocks on the market. I have read that OME designed many of their basic and even nicer components to not allow enough travel that would warrant other supporting other modifications like extended brake lines specifically.

    Your shackle should be darn near horizontal, to tell if it’s fully drooped out I believe.
