Diffrent shackles for a RUF???

Post by 31zook »

Ok fullas,
I have an idea, i want to do a RUF on my zook (yes i've read a 1000's of posts) and because it's a WT i only have to redrill a hole 22mm back in my spring perch.
Option 1: I've got whacky shacks on mine and was thinking about modding them so they pin to the chassis and that way i've kept the mounts the same and fixed the shackle angle.
Option 2: I was thinking about the anti inversion shacks. They could be mounted so the restricting pin was on the inside. Positive 1, they won't invert :D. Positive 2, on level ground the shackles should rest on the restricting pin. Im building my own so i can remake them 100 times. Im only going to all this trouble so i don't have to run the 2" longer set up.

Cheers Josh

just run a normal extended shackle. RUF is great for flex and ride comfort but you really need to use longer shocks and raise your top shock mounts or you will never get the most from it.
