Topic: Anyone running joint type shackle hangers?

[yjay]

Just wondering if it's worth the money and hassle. Thinking of doing it in the rear. Any downside on a daily driver?

I think it has been discussed before but i am thinking about it. I might just buy a 2.63 ballistic joint and make my own mounts. I think i will have to get new shackles though since the ballistics dont come in a 18mm bolt hole. I am curious if the All Pro's are 18mm or if their 9/16 like most Johnny Joints?

x2, Im planning on running creeper joints vertically on my ist gen with F150 springs inboarded 4", nobody has told me not too yet. they say not safe for DD

  I have ran the TG creeper joints on my DD (rear shackles) for two years no problem at all. They really move on the trail too

they are worth the money i think.

I wouldnt but alpro ones or ballistic I mean I would if I had the coin but I have trail gears and i love them but my truck has mad body roll and if im mobbing like 60 it helps pitch it sideways I drift corners at 60 all day if its wet. I dont know if thats why but seems like it throws it a bit more sideways. On the trail there amazing helped my flex to and i think its a lot easier on the u bolts and what not to. I would do it for sure, also trail gear sells them in 18mm bolt size

Anybody seen them welded on the rear like the Ftoy shackles rather than the bottom?

I was told creeper joints where the best because they can be rebuilt, the others cant.
