I put on my cheapo shackles tonight and something weird happened...
I measured before and after...
The measurements were measured from the wheelwell to the floor (in the same place before and after) & the results were:
FRONT:
Drivers Pass.
33 3/16 33 5/8 Before
33 3/4 34 After
REAR:
Drivers Pass.
32 3/8 32 3/4 Before
34 1/4 34 1/2 After
Any idea why it raised the front?
Also, it raised it A LOT in the rear!!! It looks like 2 1/2 to 3 inches, but as you can see it was only about 1 3/4 to 2 inches (this was going from 6 in. bolt hole to hole shackle to 8.5 inches on the new shackle...)
I am not sure yet whether I like it- it has a rake of 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch (higher in the rear,) but I think it will grow on me!!!
Sorry for the long post- hope this helps someone else, and any answers (and questions) are welcomed!!!
THANKS!!!
