    uneven during its cycling or? im curious because i was considering moving the location of it. i would move it further back and lower, maybe half way down the frame. reason being it will give me a little more ride height along with droop but might be going into negative arch when its at full bump. i dunno though, i need to take it apart and cycle it more. as far as the bushing, they have been fine. there is a little wear on them that i have noticed but its not to bad. also i hardly have any issues of my shackles rubbing on the frame either. im figuring once its getting more of an occurrence, ill get new delrin.
    i dunno, i bought the f67s thinking that i could get the defined kit and just use that leaf pack since they use all the stock mounting locations, its just a different shackle. guess it just worked out haha.
    ended up being a loose ubolt

    Nice top of the world shot in Morro! I've seen pics of vehicles up there before but this one is the first Tacoma ive seen up there, thus making it the sexiest.

    It'll probably make it worse. You'll loose uptravel.

    Yep^^^ That is my understanding of this. Traditional shackle is for more down travel and inverted shackle is for more up travel. Lack of up travel is the cause of bucking so just put two and two together...

    Hes asking about the a/t's not the m/t's. The m/t's are an amazing tire and im sure the a/t's are good as well but i have little experience with them. Fabien is running them on his runner so maybe he will chime in if he sees this

    Lots of expensive shit
    Shackle style has zero effect on up and down travel

    Depends on the frame and where the spring flattens out.
    Using the same front mount, I just draw a strait line between highest position of the shackle. With an inverted shackle, the flat line is going to be higher than with a traditional shackle. You can bump the alxle at the same height, but at the result of negative arch.

    What if you use a different length shackle?

    Of course shackle length (and shackle mounting position) makes a difference.
