I got shackle relocation blocks to fix my shackle angle that was straight up and down. the first whole i tried put me more than 45 at 56 degrees. the next whole back gives me 25 degrees. now i have to choose too much or too little. which would be better to go with.

 

Go with what's closest to 45...by 56 you mean its not quite. 45?

 

i mean its past 45 by 11 degrees. the shackle is not flat but getting there.

 

56 degrees is closer to 90*....how are you measuring this? 90 degrees is a vertical shackle..meaning 56 degrees is not quite 45 which is ideal........

 

using my iphone with an angle finder. on it straight up and down is 0. right now i have it on the whole that is farther back and it is reading 26. i did have it on the whole farther forward and it was reading 56. hope that makes since

 

Your inverting it..straight up is 90 degrees. 45* cuts 90 in half between vertical and pointing straight back...meaning 56* isn't enough angle....56 degrees is closer to.being vertical. 25 degrees would be basically pointing straight back...your measurements are.inverted....

 

Post a picture

 

I would focus on down travel if I could not get my shackle at 45 degrees

 

heres where my shackle angle is right now. 70 degrees


if i move it one whole forward it is laying more flat at 34 degrees. you can see where i had to grind the mount to clear the shackle when i had it set there. i hope this clears up some of my confusion.

 

Id leave it there.. that's pretty close..the next hole would leave it.pointed too far back and may slap the box.with uptravel
