what bolts, nuts, ect are you talking about... it's all there... you reuse the stock shackle bolts and leaf bolts... there are no bolt for the spacers in the front

I would install the shack on it's tallest setting and then install a 2" spacer (2.25 might work a little better) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-25-...1#ht_581wt_939

 

Oh okay, I figured all that crap would be rusted out, but hopefully not. If not, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out the size.

Largest size on the shackles would give me at LEAST 2" in the back, more like 2.5 to 3 though? And then 2.25" in the front with the spacers? I think it would be good. The front wheel well is slightly less packed than the rear, so when I put new tires in I think it'll be a good look.

 

max the shackle will give is 2.6" and that is if the shackle is at 90 degrees... which it will not be, you will likely get a 2-2.25" lift

 

Fine by me. For a few hours and $80 I can't complain

 

good to go

 

Just make sure to PB blast all the nuts and bolts for a few days prior to taking on the project. Thats what I have always done and havnt broke a bolt yet. except a thermostat housing bolt...

 

Gotcha, i'll report back

 

What do you make the coil spring spacers out of? Also I may be interested in a set of 2.5 inch coil spacers. Shipped to 85306 what would cost be. Also do you have pics of your spacers?

 

you have a PM

 

I measured my center hub to bottom of rear fender and got 16.5", but I have a spare tire carrier on the bumper, a sub box with 2 12"s, and a tool box in the back. The leafs still have a little arch on them. Should I be good to go with these shackles and a 2" spacer up front?

 

I'm sure your pinion angle is way too far up after these and you'll never have the oil capacity correct when doing a change. Could also affect the slash lubrication and starve the pinion bearing... Although this does "lift" the vehicle this is essentially as effective as placing blocks under the pack. Not to mention the shackle angle is trash.

Please don't read this thread and think, "oh snap, I don't have to spend money to correctly lift my vehicle." To each their own but I don't approve of this method alone. A small drop shackle is okay but this is bit much...

 

keep in mind on the lowest setting it is 1.5" or so...

 

so all of the budget boosts are wrong? this is just as effective as the shackle that comes in a BB kit or the shackle that comes with 3" leafs in a 4.5" kit if they are so terrible why aren't all of those people having issues. also the shackle angle depends on the leafs installed. these are alot better than blocks and worse than an AAL.

 

only on the lowest setting, on the highest setting it is over 2.5" of lift! that is a huge shackle... however I personally think it is a good setup... which is why I have recommended it to so many people and will continue to do so...

my buddy is running one in the rear... got around 2.5" of lift and I made him a coil spacer and some discos for the front

 

meh they flex real good and they aren't that long on normal vehicles stock ranger shackles are a 1" shackle on these so the big ones going on the truck.
