Oh and im tryin to run 37s/38s btw

[crawlerdan]

Haha well i am still in HS (barely)  but i think i'll keep it to putting on my chevys and some shackles. Would 10 in be too long?

10 inch shackles?? ya, too long

[lifted_drifter]

I just dont understand how people build there trucks with 4 in lifts and they can still run 37s but get enough downtravel.

I've got the chevys but its a matter of how long of shackles to make when i mount them.

I was gonna put rears up front then mix the 3in lift spring pack i have in the front with them

[Hyena]

depends on what angle they are at.  mine were 9 inch eye-eye i beleive and were at a very steep angle.  worked pretty good.

yup! ready for paint and an exo!

ten is just a little too long i think. it could be done but when you start to get really long shackles your whole rear axle and springs kinda want to move side to side alot more.  plus the longer your shackles are the easier they will bend!  i think mine are 8" center to center. i made them from 1/4" plate and welded in a square tube in the middle so they dont bend. they have worked out really well.  heres a pic

[lifted_drifter]

What do you run in the front?

[pumkin toy]

wagoneer front leafs, sorry i dont have any recent flex pics. i actually posted some in this thread a few years ago. i would have to go back through and find them.

[lifted_drifter]

Thats fine

I was actually inquiring about the shackle length, but now i think about it, its just gonna depend on the springs anyways!

[pumkin toy]

oh sorry!  i have daystar shackles in the front.  i think they are 1.5" lift

[lifted_drifter]

Ok thanks!

My friend has a lser cut machine thingy.

You trace it on this paper then it cuts it.

Anyways Auto CAD and some cardboard + that machine should come out with some pretty pro shackles.

[pumkin toy]

yeah i would love to have a machine like that!  i saw them using one on extreme 4x4 last weekend.
