How much do they add to your rear height, Bebe? Why are you adding them again?...to keep up with the added front height with new HD Tbars?

Looks like great fab work, can't go wrong with that!

Re: Extended Shackles
 

That's one reason, but mostly to add height to the rear to compensate for the weight I have added.

Along with helper springs it will add height and stability to the truck.

Here is cestwicks truck after he added his extended shackles....

Cool!! Moab will be a great place to test all your new goodies :jump:

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Thanks, that makes sense...but the pic's kinda deceiving, isn't it? On a twist, I can get that rear clearance. Got one on flat ground?

Without the new (or highly cranked) T-bars, that'll lift the back up the air like a cat in heat.

Re: Extended Shackles
 

I hope not, it's only supposed to add an inch. We will see in the morning:popcorn:

Here's one on flat ground, and with 35's.

WOW! That makes the 35's look like 33's back there. SO that little bit should help a bit IMO. BEBE, I thought this thread was something complete different!!!!!!!!!:fdance:

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Nice pieces. I've just send an email to Samco to see if I can order the same parts. It is not advertised on their website. :confused:

Lets wait and see.

Does it look like a kitty?

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Nope, one inch. I'll post pics later, I'm going to go put the front shocks on now.

PS it was a beotch. Needed a little grinding. :jump:

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Interested to see how this turns out. Are these shackles available or were they custom made?

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Mine are a prototype. But he will be making them.:excited:

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Cool. Will check back for pics.

Attachment 37714 of your truck! :yawn: ;)

Re: Extended Shackles
 

Here's a couple, It got dark before I could take some completed shots, I'll post them tonight.

Re: Extended Shackles

Re: Extended Shackles
 

What thickness plate are you using for those? It's hard to tell in the pics, maybe 1/4"?

Re: Extended Shackles
 

You are correct sir.
