soaking my nuts and washing my shoes THE 92 X BUILD-UP

[pughman]

going to put my shackles on tonight, so i thought i might soak them while i was out geting my new used 31x10.50 15's that i got for $40.00 ! all in all i have my 2in. skyjacker springs form summit coming and the home made shackles for a 2in. all the way around them ill put my 31's on, so i thought i'd start this thread ...

got the lift on , got a tad over 1 1/2 in. out of it, now all i need is the springs , and ill be good to go...

Looks good so far, only thing i might add is some sort of cross bracing on the shackles, like welding a small piece of tube or left over on the inside of the shackles. Look at a pict of the warriors if you don't understand what i'm saying.

doesnt mean its smart though. lots of people dont wear seatbelts.

x2 on the cross brace but only if you plan to wheel the vehicle - if not, then dont worry about them. off camber situations is an example of when shackles take lateral load and therefore should have a cross brace.

[pughman]
