Lowering Shackles and trailering
Lowering Shackles and trailering
Have a 2003 Lightning Dark Shadow Gray L. I used DJM Suspension Lowering Shackles (2") to lower the truck.
Got 1 1/2"" drop. With my 1 1/2" lowering I got zero vibration.
I was concerned about lowering more as I pull a trailer loaded with ATV's quite often. Anyway, since the lowering I have pulled the loaded trailer a few times. I did have to flip over/change ball on the trailer ball mount as the downward tilt on the trailer post L rear lowering, was a little more then I wanted. With the flip over/change ball on the trailer ball mount that raised the trailer tongue up 2" all is now aok. L pulls trailer great, angle of trailer I am towing is acceptable. With the L's torque, trailering is not a bother. Can report a lot of drooling and "oh man" comments by teenagers, etc. that see the L barreling down the road with 3 new quads. (KFX400, Banshee, Blaster) A teens dream a new L and a new ATV. Two teens at a gas station asked me the other day when they saw the rig "did you win the lottery"...... told them no just one of the benefits of finishing high school, a couple of years college and a job... ho, ho, ho................. Hmmm, did think I sure could use the $ winning the lottery would bring....

[B]these pics are with 2inch belltech shackles
the one pic with the car was with my 17inch winter wheels on.
Geeez, years ago I dated a real cute gal in upstate NY that had a Roadster just like that. Riding the Roadster and her were always a hoot!
