87manche Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 ok, so I think I want to run an extended shackle in the rear. I just need about 1/2" more in the back to make it look right, and my shackle bushings are toast anyway. I hear of a 2" drop shackle from a chebby full size. What years chevy? How much total lift?

CWLONGSHOT Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 With shackles you need twice the legnth to get half the lift. SO the factory is 4.5-5" you will be looking for a 5.5-6" long shackle. XJ.s have a 3.5" shackle so a 2" lift for them would be about right for what you want. As for the years of chebby shackles, I too am running a set. I don't know the year, but as long as its the same width (most are same as MJ/XJ) and you know the legnth you need they will work. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 thanks CW. I knew I was looking for something an inch or 1.5 inches longer. I'll look into it, I'm also hoping it makes the rear end work a bit more for it's living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
