advice on drop shackles

Post by 57oky »

hey guys, im looking for some advice on DROP SHACKLES. With my ute being IFS and heavy leaves in the rear, I have been thinking of running them as my flex (or lack thereof) is quite bad, but Ive heard mixed feedback on them. Have any of you blokes run them or know of anyone who does that can help me out. I know that they are illegal, but Ive also heard that they are dangerous on hills as they tend to want to tip the vehicle over?? I see them alot lately on full leaf setups like sierras and early cruisers. any advice would be awesome
Thanks
CHAD

Being in the rear of a ifs vehicle i would think they would be fine i do know that in the front of a full leaf vehicle bumpy hill climbs can get pretty interesting
