    The XJ shackle really helped with fine tuning angle and numbers I have been after, initial around town test drive netted a vast positive change in driving. Sits a bit higher then I wanted.

    Just got back from a shake down basic run up one of our local Forrest roads, rear is much more plush and active, the shackle really made a very nice sized positive change, burning gopro vids now, initial rough vid im not liking the movement of the shackle side to side, the length gives the leaf/suspension leverage to move/twist it around, all bolts are TQ'd to 100#. May design a specific shackle for this application. Des and crawling next, hopefully in the next few weeks.

    will post today's vid soon.

    haha I know.. I've wheeled with a few that have shackle flips, I've just been trying to avoid doing it myself. I think its finally time to do it though.


    I see the Down south logo on your sig pic? do you have any affiliation with them?

    With this really nice new design you should be able to use this kit on any leaf pack that is a stock location bolt in pack. Alcan, Deaver, Betts, OME etc are all very close eye to eye and should work with the these shackles.
