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.

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!!!!!!!!!

Cool 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.

Lets wait and see.

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