Re: Shackle lift/drop question

what springs and length are those springs in the front? what length shackle in front?

northwest offroad springs. 44'' from eye to eye centers. then 21 1/2'' from front eye to center pin. would the use of marlin springs make for a better shackle angle? i think they measure 47 inches total dont they? plus i would assume they'd flex better then these 4 leaf fronts. :headscratch:

take out some leafs then......

if i take too many out, my rear will sag way out when i go to load it to go to the desert. as it is, my truck sags pretty good when i have it loaded. my bike weighs about 400lbs, then tools, fuel, food, blah blah blah..... by the time im loaded im about in 800lbs or so load.
