Here are some day light pics. I need a much longer shackle in the back as you can see in the last picture. I tried to flex on my brother's 37 but it didn't really work too well with front wheel drive and rear wheel brakes. The shackle inverting didn't help either. These ones are 4" eye-to-eye. It sits low in the rear even with 2.5" lift springs in the rear and stockers up front. Maybe like a 8" shackle or something to compensate for the angle and height.

Reverse angle, can see shackle

 

[numtel]

Uh oh!

Are you useing stock springs front and rear? Why didnt you just flip the springs front and rear, thats what i did and a SR at the same time and im sitting at 100" exactly, But mine sits level, are you gonnamake up the sagging with a longer shackle or whats the plan?

 

[NORCALFJ40]

heres how mine sits:

I wanted something different and saw a picture of GloNDark's shackle off the back of the frame. That's where I got the idea for this.

oh i see, Just cant go with the crowed huh? Gotta do the fancy stuff. :flipoff2: ,j.k man, Good lunk working out those collapsed shackles.

One of the main things that I was looking for was a longer rear driveshaft. I have an auto tranny behind my 350 so I didn't want a steep driveshaft and needed the rear stretched out quite a bit.

What happened to the rear shackle angle? Did it settle that much or what?

Seriously. I leave town and all hell breaks loose.

So now the 6.5" shackles won't work? You need some custom Section525 8" ones? Those are $$$.

The springs have settled a little more than we anticipated, longer shackles will put it back to good, don't anyone worry.

But at least you get to use the dimple die. Maybe you could even squeeze two on there.

After it inverted and then jacking it up to get back is when it got worse.

 

[section525]

I'll build you some pimp ones when I get back. If.. if.. I can paint them pink.

Mmmmm....37's :smokin:
