up and down yes, but what about side to side? The attachment point on the axle will shift side to side as the axle rotates (flexing) since the trackbar is a constant length.

 

So what about these? I could pull these off my adjustable LCA's and save even more $. They're RE Superflex joints 2.5" with 1.25-12 thread

 

I could probably install JJ's on these shackles too for a little moar flecks in the **** huh?

 

Trail Gear sells creeper joint shackle mounts....

 

Maybe....or you could sell them to me

 

I saw those

I might just start making these, they look easy enough LOL

 

I know creeper joints have 40 degrees of rotation. Since yoi do not need more than that...bushings at the axle end provide a smoother ride and better ride control.

 

Question for you guys. This winter i am planning on installing a real lift to ditch the blocks and spacers. Looking at a full 3.5" super flex. Is an extra inch with spacers and shackles worth it to give the 31 more clearance or should i just install stops? With a discoed front is it possible for the 31s to hit the fender or flares at 4.5"?

 

thats funny, didn't get in trouble did ya? though i guess they're a little careful when they hear the word gun. don't blame them since what happened at perryhall

that's just sad. i bet the cop had a confused look when he saw it expecting a gun.

 

you don't want to do that. There is no trackbar in the rear to keep the axle from shifting side to side, just the spring bushings. The movement will be very unpredicatable. Same reason revolver shackles never caught on.

 

all this flex talk is makin my arthritis flare-up

 

Gotcha
