Has anybody fitted climax drop shackles to the front of there lux, the reason I am asking is I am after flex not height, total lifted height will be about 3 inch. I am about to fit new rock crawler springs, and was wondering if fitting them with drop shackles and spring hoops will give significantly more flex. On the rear I will do the same but with inverted shocks. Thanks, Nick.

I ran Superior drop shackles all round for years to start with. Not the best idea for the front as you get too much movement in them when steering. They will look good when flexing but you will get nearly as good with rears up front and will steer way better.

So I would give it a miss up front if I was you but I'm not so this is only my 2 cents.
