Drilling 1/4" with a hand drill brings the suck... What size holes did you do into the angle, anyone who has completed and installed a set? 9/16" seems right since 1/2 is slightly too small

I am running Rough Country shackles from a budget lift. Amazingly the only change in ride height was an 1/8" increase in the front but overall still a 2" lift. After a combination of drop and tilt and hoping it would work it still rides nice!

are you guys having any problems with the angle getting into the Exhuast hanger on the passenger side? I started to fab up a set last night and it seems like they are gonna be all into the rubber hanger do dad

Sorry didn't have the time to read through the thread. Now I am trying to understand the hole in the box part where the original shackle went through, 1 5/8" from the back and bottom?
