As soon as I put alot of weight on my susp. my shackles folded back against my frame. I put the hangers the normal position centered on the square hole in the frame, and the shackles are 5 3/4'' eye to eye. What is my problem? Are the shackles to short? Any would be greatly appreciated. Will
sounds like you springs are to long for you hanger/shackle combo. measure the lenght from bolt to bolt (front to back, in a straight lilne) then add the lenght of you shackle. these two measurements added together need to be AT LEAST 1" longer than the lenght of the main leaf. (measured along the arc of the spring) or your shackles will hit the frame before your springs can flatten out. make sense.
As soon as I put alot of weight on my susp. my shackles folded back against my frame. I put the hangers the normal position centered on the square hole in the frame, and the shackles are 7'' eye to eye. What is my problem? Are the shackles to short? Any would be greatly appreciated. Will
