Shackle length
I need to raise the rear of my cart by an 1". I am going to make longer shackles, some one correct me if I am wrong but what I know about shackles is they have to be longer than the desired lift, so to get 1" you have to make/use 2" longer shackles. Correct?

Re: Shackle length
If I understand everything that TahoeDawg was telling me, 1" longer rear shackle will push the front spring mount up 1'' (seesaw effect) raising the wheel well an inch.

Re: Shackle length
I used HD rear springs on mine and got 1 1/2 inch lift.

Re: Shackle length
So I made my own shackles, turned out real nice. Made them exactly 2" longer than stock, gave me 1.5" of lift, sits proper now.

Re: Shackle length
Great thread and insteresting. I just mounted 26's under mine and looks like I need anout 3/4" to an 1" lift in the rear.
Do you just use standard steel or aluminum? |
