Is $55.95 a good price for the Warrior Shackles, and is one set of shackles two or all four?

 

[Blee1099]

That is a okay price but you can find it for lower.. Here's an example.. http://www.tellico4x4.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/6362

Also its only a set of 2 for the rear. You still need to do the Torsion twist.

i plan on doing a TT up front and put the Warrior Shackles on back, so that would make a level lift of about 1.5-2 inches?

my torsion bars are rated B does this mean i wont bea able to get a full 2 inches out of mine. im fixin to run 32's so i need that whole 2 inches if anyone could post with their past expierences with "b" bars id appreciate it

 

[2000Xplorer]

i have "b" bars and i just did my TT/shackle lift a week ago. i got about 1.75'', maybe a little more. if all you plan on doing,to fit 32's, is the TT/Shackle or AAL lift, i would suggest also doing a body lift. or else a lot of trimming would be required

or you could buy new fenders.

Does anybody know if the aal does the some thing as shackles or should i get both. Right now i have a three inch body lift and i had order the aal's the other night but now im not sure if that was the right thing to do. Will the tt/aal make it an evan lift? Any suggestions? I would appricate it

 

[STEVE-O]

The AAL should be fine with the TT. I wouldnt do both the AAL and shackles unless your stock leaf springs are really sagging. otherwise if you do just the AAL and TT it should make everything even. Just one AAL usually adds around 1.5-2" I would think, and thats really all you should do with the TT as well. Hope that helps, post pictures in the before and after forum when you get it all done.

any body have a pic of what 2in would look like on the cv joints i did the tt last night and it looks like its leveled with the back but there is a noise when i'm moving forward like a squeking every time the wheel come around

Is 150,000 miles to much to add war shackles, TT, and AAL?
Ive got a 96 4 dr 4wd and i want to raise it but i dont know if the cars been through to much to handle that?

What kit are you talking about? What Reserve? Is there an auction somewhere?

 

[hokiej21]

Sorry i posted the wrong one, this is the right one. I have a 1997 mountainer with a TT and add a leaf and was wondering if i could fit 32x11.50 on it with 15 x 7 stock rims or 31x11.50x15 on stock rims, which one would be better? Thanks for any help

 

[section525]

You may have to trim a little (or a lot) to fit 32's with just a TT. I did at least. However, both sizes should be find on a 15x7 wheel. Good luck!

 

[hokiej21]

anybody know about using a 3" Body Lift pa-883 to lift a 1997 mercury mountaineer? any help would be appreciated
