Hey Ron im pretty jealous of all your new

Why the choice to have the shackle in the front vs. the rear?

You would have to ask Brian about that, but he says that when it cycles. It will move forward, instead of backwards, towards the cab where it can rub.

That is true for up travel obviously but for down its the other way.

Good deal though. I havent seen many toyotas with shackles in the front like that. I cant wait to see this thing in a few months. Lets hope my runner doesnt get all jacked up somehow..

With the shackle in the front like the old jeeps and scouts the ride will be harsher than your use to. When your going down the road and hit a bump the axle has to move forward toward the bump before it can go up. Thats why Jeep and Scout owners do shackle reversals.

makes sense, but also think about when he is crawling and flexing out, it will allow the tire to be pushed away from the firewall which will be helpful with those huge 42s.

truck looks real good

Put the 42s on the front. Took forever to get them together. Gonna put the other ones on in a couple of days.

I am pissed!!! I was over helping RCT with his rig. His truck looks insane with the new tires and bead locks. Makes my truck look like it is on skateboard wheels.

baconator · « **Reply #78 on:** Jul 25, 2007, 08:11:53 AM »

looks really good. $Beer Chug\'n$ just curious but what springs are you running?
