whats the best shackle angle for the rear,some i have read say 30,35,45 and on and on.whats the best angle to get the most flex outta them?
Try this...measure the length of the spring, eye to eye along the entire curve of the spring...then measure the length between your front spring mount and rear shakle mount eye to eye. Subtract the frame measurement from the spring measurement...this, theoretically, would be your optimal shakle length
From what I understand, the perfect shackle will be vertical at full extension and horizontal at full compression.CTENG has a great suggestion. You should be able figure out the best place to mount your rear shackle mount based on the length of shackle you plan to run. I would shoot for vertical at full extension (droop) and somewhere between horizontal and 45 degrees for full compression to avoid any contact issues. I think that I have heard that 30-45 is a good ride height shackle angle.
