Re: Maximum Shackle without mods
So, for the time being I used a 3 inch stainless bolt, stainless sleeve, and a couple stainless washers to move the brake lines up. I have a piece of steel stock to fab a replacement bracket. But now I'm trying to see if I can order 2 stainless lines that are 3 inches longer than the stainless lines you (kinda) see on there. Trail Duty is supposed to be coming out with some different shock mounts that raise the bottom of the shock out of harms way... thinking about trying them before I decide to ditch Fox shocks. I know it's kind of "rigged" so flame away!!

Re: Maximum Shackle without mods
Any pics of the rest of the truck?
How do you like the Fox shocks?

The upcoming Trail Duty Shock Plates will raise the lower part of the shock by 1.5" to work with stock length shocks with or without extended shackles

Re: Maximum Shackle without mods
When you all raise the rear with shackles, do you raise the front end even more to keep it all level?
If so, isn't that angle bad for your CV joints?

Re: Maximum Shackle without mods
I have the Samco shackles on mine, no modifications. I do want the Trail Duty shock plates to go with my Fox shocks. Just waiting for them to come out.
I added the SAW torsion bars also, so I lifted the front a couple inches and the rear 3/4" or so and the front and rear are now even. I guess the cv andgle isn't bad enough yet. Several people have added the t-bars.

Re: Maximum Shackle without mods
Any idea of when the shock plates will be ready to go?? Those and the BulletProof Tie Rods are up next.
I cranked up the front to 24.25 inches when I installed the SAW torsion bars. The rear still looked like it had a bit of a Tennessee rake. Here is a picture from a few months ago. Looks different now... black mirrors, black door handles, black fuel door, no badges, I put the flares on too... chrome brush guard is off and I'm running American Racing Chamber Teflon wheels 16x8.... DOI winch mount and winch are coming. Will post up in a few days with new pics when I get around to taking some new photos...
I am still shopping for 2 longer stainless brake lines for above the axle and ditching the spacer.
