Help with JLP shackles please.
I have been trying to order the adjustable shackles for couple of days, but I guess the office is closed until today.
My question is do I need shims for the pinion angle and if I do where can I get them?
Also do I just cut the bumpstops down or order new ones and from who do I order?
And for one more question, will I need new shocks with just the rear drop? Thanks

No, you do not need a shim kit unless you went with hangers too and even then you usually are ok unless its a ex cab........
You dont need to do anything wityh the bump stops.ANY shacles regardless of advertised drop is not even going to come close to bump stop specially an 03
you DONT need new shocks with any shackes.

Sue told me the same thing when i ordered my 4" shackles.
Although she said i should cut my bump stops, but nothing else was needed....... yea right!
I HAD TO flip my shims to get rid of the vibrations the JLP 4" shackles gave... There is a "how-to" that i followed on how to flip the stock shims, and i also took some pics. Let me know if you need any help. BTW - these were installed on a 2003 HD, not an L.

How-to flip shims link
Most Ls do not show any vibration with the single aluminum driveshaft. On my 02 Harley with 2-piece steel drivehshaft it vibrated and I had to flip shims.
