I was driving it, lolz. btw, its for sale, half off right now. special deal.

 

oh yeah?

got a link...?

 

ummmmmmmmmm, no.

how do you like those shackles though?

 

Me and the fam take a trip out to cal city every thanksgiving loads of fun and delicious deep fried turkey

 

AH! i knew i recognized your screen name from DR...

the shackles are good, but i think i may have bent the pass side one a little because it's kind of rubbing on the frame... it wasn't doing that when i first got them on... whatever. lol

 

my and my friend might start making some 12" shackles.
They are like the TC ones just not so expensive.

When they were on my truck too they were both angled outboard. lolz. damn E&C spring straight screwed me on the install.

 

i would be very interested in the shackles you guys are making...

how much? PM me if you want

 

isnt there a certain amount of play in the bushings that might make the shackles rub on the frame under lateral movement?

 

ok so i know exactly what i want for the front LT, somewhat for the rear... but i need some major help. lol...

so ill be pulling 12-13 out of my front end.

for the rear end i want to do a SUA, bumps, and tripple bypasses. but i do not know anything else.... if someone would help me out with this it would be great. im thinking i want about 16 in of travel in the rear. or should i go for more or less? what leaf pack should i run, shackles? and with that leaf pack will both mounts need to be moved? and whats involved with a SUA?

 

i was thinking about linking it, but linking it is pretty much only needed if you want a shit load of travel right?

 

can i do a SUA with this kit? http://giantmotorsports.com/index.ph...d=41&Itemid=51
or is a SUA not needed?

a SUA is pretty much just used to keep the truck lower to the ground correct? whats the other positives.

EDIT: and with this kit is this all i would need - shocks?

 

yeah 20+ in the rear is pointless unless your going balls deep in the front, and since im keeping 4wd intact thats not possible..

why dont you go for more?

 

SUA gives you more uptravel. The axle can now go all the way to the frame without the leafs being in the way. But if you plan on wheeling you will lose a little clearance under the axle. That is why Zach is not going SUA. With Deavers or All Pro 50t SUA you should be able to pull 17" or 18"s. I have heard th 50t pack lasts longer. You will have to move both front and rear hangers. Total Chaos makes the front mounts, shackles, spring plates, etc too. Their stuff is $$$ but very good quality. i kinda like theirs over Giants

 

im linked, and love it. Since you want to go spring under, defintyly go not get the Deaver 62's. you will end up hating them.

My front end pulls maby 13" and the rear is capable of like 19" half up half down. I love it, super smooth so far in everything but the deep stuff.

lolz. you can still get like up to 17" with 4x in the front. Your kit just needs to be built right, good CV's.

 

I think 1st gens want this one. You would need shocks, bed cage, and bumps
