    Yeah I'm a fan so far. I need a full winter with them to give you a full honest review.

    No idea what you are talking about.

    Read this build. It's all in the previous 108 pages of this thread.

    Fuck !I was hoping you weren't going to say that. I to was thinking that droop. But didn't want to ask knowing the answer I would get.
    I hate reading and I know I read it but cant remember shit . Will definitely forget it by next week.

    I have followed along for the most part, sifting through the BS. That picture just looked like a lot more travel. I just finished mine the other night and using 12" of shock travel mine doesn't look like it drops out that far. Your shackle angle looks to be rotated forward a little more though than mine does. I am assuming you have poly bushings on the HD replacement shackles?

    Do a quick search for "cycle" and you can find the pages pretty quickly. 12.75" was where he strapped it. Metal to Metal it was 14-15". The picture just looked like a lot more droop.

    Also looks like more since his fenders are cut a good bit and has no flares. That combined with the actual travel he pulls, and the camera angle make it like that

    But really...that's why I cycled everthing with just a main leaf. You can force it into positions like shown above.

    Yeah. I did the same thing with my All Pro Springs, but with the full leaf pack though I can only get the shackle to go to about 15 degrees past vertical vs. completely rotated forward like you are showing in the picture. If my shackle would move that much I would get another 1-2" of travel.

    Jason do you like this set up better over the SUA set up on the first gen?
    Debating on weather not to go SUA or not. im all about why do it for little gain.

    Loosen the shackle bolts up so the stock tension bushing can't fight you.

    Different builds, different requirements, different pros/cons.
    It depends on what your goals are going to be for the rig.

    I will give that a try. I just finished some hd shackles with poly bushings so I am hoping will help a little.
