    Might want to get new ones if you want to run them, these are pretty toasty. We can play with these though.

    Hanger is 3", within about .08" of the factory one.

    Shocks & brake lines going on my rig this weekend, so I should be able to flex it out with everything still connected!

    I'll let fabjunkie provide any updates on final hardware/mounts as I do not know :anonymous:

    Well, shocks went on today. Some company which shall remain nameless sent me the wrong lines... So I still haven't replaced my rear brake lines yet :(

    Went out to the same ole ditch and took another snap w/shocks on!

    The seem the perfect length for this setup now. Still thinking about removing my overload spring, but the truck rides MUCH nicer now that the shock isn't constantly topped out! :anonymous:

    Nice. I have these shocks already :cool:

    I noticed when I had my truck on lift other day that they could go another 2 inches lower than full droop with my leafs, debating getting a 1" shackle too...the stock one seems bit short

    Yea, I'm betting with a different shackle I could get more droop. Right now I'm on the stock shackle, and different shackles will definitely help with the flex!

    I still have the prototype mount on, so fabjunkie doesn't want me to post any shackle angle pics. The final product we'll get lots of pics. Maybe I'll actually bring a real camera too, lol :eek:

    That second link is the wrong style, the other two are correct.

    I am going to recommend aftermarket shackles, either the XJ or Chevy, with aftermarket springs to really take advantage of what they offer.

    Got the final version on. Click on any pic to get a bigger version. These pics also show before & after shackle flips... We had fairly similar setups, same size tires, about the same leaf setup in the rear...
