Hey rob02lightning!!!

I remembered you had installed some DJM shackles a while back. I put these on my truck also, but is your passenger side a 1/2 inch taller than the driver side. Mine is and hoping I'm not the only one.

The gap between the fender and the top of the rim is the distance I measured on my truck. Heres my measurments:

Passenger: 9.75"
Driver: 9.25"

What are yours???

It's pitch dark out there right now snake, but I will measure them for you in the morning and post the answer in the morning @9ish, Mine seem to be level ?

The trick of the trade is to put them on BUT BEFORE making them fully tight, you jack up the front to put more weight on the back, then tighten them up. You also get a lower drop that way.

PS,
I also put mine in backwards
"BECAUSE THATS HOW THE FACTORY ONES CAME OUT"
and I'm not alone, maybe they work better that way ???
Mine seem good, quiet, no squeaks, helped the launch.
Got me a 1.8 60's on Bald F-1's with them

Thats cool!! I didn't jack up the front when I installed them. What I did was install the shackles and left them loose and drove down the street and then tightned when I got back.
