Re: spring/shackle angle
« on: Jan 20, 2010, 10:21:33 AM »
You guys are getting confused about what he had on it, if it was at a negitive arch and you go to a 6 inch spring thats a huge difference in height. there is no way it will settle that much just move shackle mount now so you dont damage the spring while it "settles:"


 
When I first bought my truck, I had TG 5" springs on it. One of the  rear springs was negative arched and so I changed the rear springs to the Marlin 6" rears.  My problem is that now my drivers side shackle angle, the bottom is pointing more toward the front of the truck \ and my passenger shackle is straight up and down.  I don't want to fold my springs under. My original shackle angle was about 45* back with the TG springs.  I only have one short trial ride on the Marlins with no heavy flexing. I figure they haven't broken in yet, but still don't want to kill them by having the shackle go the wrong way.

Any way to fix this?

Dr.Maxwe001 – well i have a 15 gal compressor now and if I gett he 60  and then use the 15 as a reserve that wil give me 75 gal  thats close to 80 isnt it ?
