Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The drop shackles thread got me thinking about an idea I had a while back for a bit of extra leaf travel without extending shackles.

(It really would be just a bit, don't get me wrong.)

Idea is to replace the standard bushings with hard ones that have an off-centre hole and that can rotate.

There might be wear issues... but there might not. You'd lose some height but you could get it back with slightly altered springs or dare I say it a slightly longer shackle.

Stupid? Already done a million times? Did I miss an obvious problem? Not worth the hassle for such a small gain in travel?

hmmm not a bad idea but woodnt there be a problem with axle wrap.... if not more then with drop shackles fitted? guess it cood be easily fixed with a anti axle wrap bar too

that could also be used with drop shackles for extra length (and axle wrap )

I think I drew it wrong; it would go more like this:

nah id recon the other way would work better
