shoo one done, one to go (shackles) also have a leaf spring quesiton

[SwaintaN]

lol i got my shackles and trying to install them, SHOOO damn, one only done after a couple hours... (had a lot of stopping and bad weather) had to grind off the old one on driver side... well there wasnt one there, just the bolts... the leafs were sitting on the spring.. so it was the first, the second i will start tonight or tomorrow... tired! lol

Now for the question!

I noticed in the pic of the Warrior Shackle install (btw that is the shackles i have now) he only had three leaf springs... Mine has 4, is it suppose to? (93 4 dr)

Nah, doesn't matter. That's like the later generation 2 doors having a mono leaf pack. if anything it's better you have 4. more springy ness!

 

[SwaintaN]

lol if you mean by springy ness, means bouncy ness? lol that is for sure, with the new shackels on (both are on now; second was so much easier), but it does bounc a lot if you jump on it, new shocks soon.. that should be fun!

first gen sports have a 3 leaf pack, 2nd gen sports have a mono leaf. since that install i have swapped in leaf packs from a 4 door and an aal. will be getting rid of the aal and warrior shackles here in a few weeks, opted for SOA in the back to get it level or slightly higher than the front cause right now its saggin a little.

:ttiwwp:

 

[SwaintaN]

What exactly are you wanting pics of?

 

[Blacksheep Josh]

If you installed the warrior shackles, then it's lifted a bit right? Got any before/after pictures?

 

[SwaintaN]

lol thought u ment something else, i dont have before pics, but i can get after pics, plus i took pics of my old shackles taken off, as soon as this 60-75 mph wind is done, ill take after pics, lifted a lil yes, alot firmer ride (nice) lol my kids dont like it, but your not gonna like anything that just got taller then you when your only a couple feet tall

 

[Blacksheep Josh]

Most definitely. My Corgi is about 11 inches tall, if that. I used to have to pick her up and put her in the Explorer, but I got a good laugh when she used the new molded running boards I installed to get into it.

 

[SwaintaN]

I noticed when I just went out and pulled a half a tree of the shed, my Warrior shackles like in the walk through that is on here, mine are all black, not silver with black spec. I even chipped a tooth installing mine, not sure how...

[Four0Sport]

i need a tetnis shot just from looking at those pics. ouch. i thought my truck was bad, but i only have rocker dilemnas.

 

[SwaintaN]

[Four0Sport]

i was talkin about your rear wheel wells, bad.

 

[SwaintaN]

lol my bad, i read it to fast, lol, yeah! you should see parts of the bottom length of the driver door :-(

 

[Four0Sport]

i feel your pain. ive been through some ohio winters, have family up towards cleveland. mines getting kinda bad. prbly gonna weld some angle iron along the bottom of the rocker and fill in the rest.

 

[Four0Sport]

other than the airborne tetnis my rockers emit and some small bubbles around the pain on my gas door the rest of the truck is in great shape.

 

[SwaintaN]
