Ratbiker · 07-09-2012, 07:43 PM

*01STrunner* · 07-09-2012, 07:44 PM

Ratbiker · 07-09-2012, 07:49 PM

Ratbiker · 07-09-2012, 07:51 PM

*01STrunner* · 07-09-2012, 07:53 PM

Do you have a side shot by chance?

And with the TT/Shackles:

Feels good to finally be able to put my trac in this thread lol.

your right, the TKO's are awesome! your truck looks outstanding!

Thanks man I appreciate the compliment. The only thing is I wish they were offset just a little bit more to the inside of the wheel. Ive got a couple scratches on them already.

thanks guys! i'm looking for a shackle lift for it now. just wondering which company is good?

*01STrunner* · 07-11-2012, 05:32 PM

Warrior Shackles part#153 is what you want. They'll give you between 2 & 3" depending on your springs. Add-a-Leafs are becoming a popular option to the lift shackles and won't wear out your leaf springs and are cheaper than shackles. However they get about 1.75" of lift. Shackles will be around 70 new and aal's are ~35 or 40. Just thought Id throw that out there.

*01STrunner* · 07-11-2012, 05:33 PM

Ratbiker, is your front hitch custom or bolt on?

interscope8 · 07-11-2012, 10:46 PM

Couldn't one do both shackles for lift and AAL for more lift and a little reinforcement of the leaf pack?

05dakotatrac · 07-12-2012, 05:27 AM

yes you can do both i know add-a-leafs alone netted me a 1.75" lift as for shackles and add-a-leafs im unsure the lift gained

*01STrunner* · 07-12-2012, 12:28 PM

I'd be interested in what kinda lift you'd end up with after doing both. SAS, SOA is next for me though
