Wait, didn't you just had your shackles extended?

September 15th, 2004 01:39 PM #4hi alfred and ungas. i'm postponing the spoa first cuz the lift of my bent springs gave me an additional 2inch lift. so now i have a total of 4 inches with the new shackles. i will till plan to do the spoa when my spings sagg again. fortunately with the 4 inch lift. i did not have to extend my propeler shafts.

the metal works shop belongs to a freint of mine that closed shop. so i just gave a big tip to the bantay to bend my springs. so i don't know how much other shops charge.
if you plan to bend your springs be prepared to change your shox if ever. all my original shx are too short now. unlike a spring over axle spings and shx stay the same. if you plan to do a spoa. dont bend your springs.
another thing. to compensate the draglink angle. i reversed the position of the tie rod ends. this required my to bring my diferencial to the machine shope.
