Double Shackle Pics.

What's with the upper shackle? Paint flaking off, or is the thing broken?

And since you've asked for criticism, it looks like your Smoky Links are a little burnt too.

I don't think anyone cares anymore.

i still think you should try the triple shackle idea. you would get alot more lift and tons of flex!!

 

[ert01]

It's a terrible idea and everyone gave their opinions. If they had anything else to say, it'd get said but you've heard it all and you still just refuse to accept it... a bad idea is a bad idea regardless of how long you decide not to listen.

 

[Steve_Moore]

I agree. It's still redneck engineering.:eyes:

 

[igotanxj]

is it me or is the front edge of the passenger side shackle box cracking with the shackle pressed up against it like that?

I have a double shackle set-up just like the pic after the breakfast....Its worked fine for me while rock crawlin and/or going 70 down the freeway....

I'll admit its probably not the safest but it works good and was cheap and I trust it.....It gave me about 3/4"-1" of lift and really allows for much better droop in the rear.

Just my .02

if you were to add a shackle to the front you could relocate your axle back a couple inches....it's pure genius!!!

You should post this on pirate and see what they think.

Yeah, they know a lot more there and would be the definitive answer on whether this is safe.

So i got up today and had some breakfast

then when to work on my shackles and busted my knuckles

i now have this

My ride feels better but i lost a little of the lift in the back it still sits just a bit higher then before, let me know what you guy think now? (like i had to ask) LOL.

It looks like your bottom shackle (non stock one) is backwards. Dont know if this will effect anything, but thats not how they are supposed to be installed.

and who the hell eats 6 sausages, 2 pieces of toast, and a breakfast burrito for breakfast?

If the double shackles dont kill you, your eating habits certainly will.!:gee:

 

[DanMan2k06]

God that looks even worse. Why not just make some relocation boxes? You're stock boxes and shackles are gonna get wrecked to shit. Fast. Look at the wear already on the rear...

OMG!Thats just stupid dangerous.If your going to do it,do it right!Heres the ones I built back in 2000.One stop controls the shackle height,the other keeps the shackles from inverting.

Did you read this?

Did you read this?

Somehow I doubt it. OP sounds like more of a "hey y'all, hold mah beer while I vote for change" kinda person. (See bumper sticker on window) Thinking and listening to feedback is optional there...

Seems to me like that double shackle folded like a taco

:looser:
