Re: Extended Shackles
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!

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....

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
Hey bebe, guess you may have heard the 08 Alpha TBs will be heavier for the V8. not sure of the pricing, but wanted to highlight it in the cases you opted for those over aftermarket ones  |

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.
