i been pondering a solution to my rear end hop and lack of articulation.


i was thinking a longer shackle (yeah it drops the truck i know) would allow my rear leafs more range of movement before adding a load to the leafs. my thought is this will add some minor articulation, but im not sure about with smoothing the rear end out with an empty bed...

any input from you other guys who use drop shackles?


also, what about a 2pc shackle design?

 

i got 2'' belltech shackles. they definately gave me some more articulation. and i rarely have anything in my bed, its still a smooth ride. and handles better too.

 

so you noticed a better ride with the longer shackles?

 

heck yes. it corners alot better.

 

well im up in the air further, cornering isnt my forte lol.

im more focused on that ANNOYING hop from the rear end when its not loaded down. you notice that before you did the shackle?

 

ya, it used to be rediculous. its not so bad anymore, so ya, i would say they helped with that.

 

alright cool, i'll add those to my to make list lol. i guess if i do it right i can put the 2" oem block with bump stop back in. even tho i hate those things.
