Interest in shackle flip for 05+ Taco???

longer shackle will make the leaf pack lower (farther away from the frame/truck) when fully flattened, so there is more uptravel after the leaf pack is fully flattened with a longer shackle than there is with a stock length shackle.

If the leaf pack is fully flattened, and there is still more uptravel left in the shocks, and the shackle still has more room to move before hitting anything, the upper pivot (bracket) can be moved forwards so the shackle can move more upwards, moving the whole leaf pack upwards, which takes care of that wasted uptravel.

 

OOOOOO burn

 

lol nah man, just my theory. I could be totally wrong, but that's the general framework we've been following when we LT bros dick around with our rear set ups

 

OOOO double burn

 

Mmmk... I'll just leave it at that, don't want to come off as bashing your product.

 

The OP in that thread is smoking some good shit. I have been watching that debacle sense day 1. At least Lurry has been nice

 

Deaver and Alcan make "flat" springs for our trucks. I seen lots of bad reviews for not enough lift or flat springs.


This kit isn't going to fix that.

 

that was a good read

 

Of course it wont do anything to fix your springs, its not designed to, but it can be a part of additional lift.

 

That be the same shit you're smoking right!? Haha

 

Anybody will look buff against a skinny asian such as blackhawke88 is

 

Hey asshole. Thats only because my front hangar is not in the right spot

 

oh shit run!

 

hahahaha! I saw that and i was like ...wtf?!?!

But yes. My shackle isnt in the right place.

Need to change some things.. Its a learning experience

 

I think I may have missed this somewhere along the way but what is the 45 degrees being measured from? Shackle mount or spring eyelit? Or both? It appears that common opinion on this thread is that 45 degrees is the "sweet" spot but just didn't know from what end.
