need some opinions and facts, Shackles
ok I have a 3" pro comp lift now. I will be slowly upgrading as I can, in not doing anything crazy on the trails yet.
my front seems to flex pretty well, until I lose a rear wheel... I'm wondering how to get a little more flex. I have AAL and they are sagging... but not bad.
should I get longer shackles? 1.5" lift is fine,
shackle relocation?
I will also be getting OME leafs in the future.
I will post pictures of my shackle angles now. trying to educate myself would appreciate the help!
and yes I searched.... lol

What does your shackle angle look like? I bet its way off.

reading pages of posts not related to my question...
who has ran longer shackle with AAL? did it help with droop travel?
ultimately I'm confined by my shackle right? so new OME leafs won't help with droop?

do you run this setup? what size lift? I wanted to stay around 4", my plans are to eventually go 4.5 long arm. so shack relo and longer shackle will gain 3" of lift? I would like to get my shackle setup before I order leafs too and end up 5-6"....
