yeh i spose
if i lose some traction ill just give it some more mumbo
and john ferguson
what are u talking bout 90 degrees ??
do u mean the shackle sits at 90 degress to the chassis
u do realise this is bad for the leaves ?
as in the shackle is placed under greater load coz it cant go either way without stronger force

nah i aint loading it up at all is aint tourer so it it aint gonna be overloaded
beside a hi mount and rear drawers
this bloke call himself a spring specialist and says thats why nobody uses ext shacks any more coz they snap leaves
go figure?

if you run extended shackles you have to also move your shackle mount to suit. for example: if your spring length is 1100mm flattened out, and your shackle length is 200mm, you then have your eye/shackle mount 915mm appart. The 15 mm is to stop the spring inverting on full droop. have a talk to GUTS or DAZ they will be able to help you.
