Looks good. Where did you get your shackles from? Custom made? Which leveling kit are you using?

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Had the work done by Tire Pros / Big Johns performance. I had a leveling kit from ORU/Off Road Unlimeted installed and Bilstein shocks. They told me the shackles are the same as they use on the Jeep.

Can you get us a part #???

They look like the gold Warrior shackles (same as I have, but mine are grey).

I got the 1 1/4" lift ones.

Sewie,
Are you satisfied with your shackles.
Would you recommend them?

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Yes.

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Thanks Sewie,
Those shackles look strong. Just contacted them to see what they have for a application to a relatively stock H3 shackle lift without any add ons. They said they dont support Hummers...
It looks like they have a product that gives a 1/2" lift similar to what you used to get the 1.25". item WAR150
Do you think that shackle could be used without some of the bells and whistles needed to get the big lift?

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Not sure what you're asking there. :confused:

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Sewie,
What I want to find out is how far can a shackle lift go B4 any stock mods are required...
Like extending shocks
extending brake lines
Seen shacles offerd that give anywhere from 1/2" lift at the rear bumper to several inches. Trying to understand what can be added without changing anything off but the stock shackle.
Thx

Re: Extended Shackles
 

The stock shocks don't have much travel to begin with, so I would consider new shocks after even a 1" lift. Just be sure to also check the compressed length so they don't bottom out. The stock shocks and swaybar links should be fine with 1/2" lift. Bebe is running the Samco shackles (3/4" lift) with the Fox shocks with no problems.

With what I've done, the brake lines may need to be lengthened but I haven't done it yet. There is a bit of play in them at stock height.

From what I've read, anything beyond 2" of lift and you need to start worrying about things like pinion angle.

Sewie,
Thanks for that. Going to take your advice. Will post pic's when complete!
