    Might have to order a set after I get my front end rebuilt and give them a try. Would like to get a little more droop out of the back.

    Is it the picture angle, or is the shackle going negative here? Your tire is still on the ground, so I'd venture to say you have more down travel than that. It would be a shame if the shackle inverted. I would move the hanger forward if that's an option.

    The shackle won't invert the way DCLBFTW has it set up. The shackle is about vertical at near max droop.

    DCLBFTW, what position are the brackets in?
    Also, your uptravel is going to be limited by the springs when empty since you have an extra leaf which adds spring rate

    wouldn't that lessen the angle at full droop?

    I think It will lessen the angle at ride height and it will be a greater angle at full droop ?

    But i could be wrong

    it'd cause it to be more vertical at ride height and possibly "cam" over at full droop

    I agree, I think the shackle angle is really good where it is. I don't like the shackles steep at normal ride height.

    Chris what's the travel on the shocks?

    So you have the mount in the position closer to the cab right now, and you're going to move it away from the cab?
