Leveling out the rear of my lux

Post by spazbot »

Ok guys heres the prob
ive put 2" dropped hangers and 2" shackles on the front of my lux, the springs i have used for the front are a hybrid pack of the bottom 4 leaves for a 2.5" lift front spring pack and the top 2 from stock rears.

my rear is now sitting with teh shackles vertical
whats the best way to fix it ?
will 2" shackles fix the rear problem or will they sit vertical aswell ?
or am i going to need to put some spacer blocks and sh!t in aswell
the rear springs are 2.5" lift aswell

well id say prolly 2" to match the front dropped hangers, the new spring packs in the front sit bascially the same level as the old 2.5" lifted fronts

On the cheap, 2 inch longer shackels, 1 inch lifting blocks, that will lift the rear about 2 inches.

If your rear shackels are Vertical now then fitting longer shackels will have them pointing forward.
