So I assume you still need the relocation bracket. That's my assumption. Call them to confirm.

That's how mine started, now the shackle moves and the springs don't. Makes one hell of a racket.

Hey Botak,

here is the final result with the relocation brackets you sold me.

The rear end has A LOT more flex, movement, and rides real nice.
