Re: Rear Driveshafts

[Michael_Thompson@domain.elided]

I have Superlift springs and well, they suck!  I had to fabricate 8" shackles in
the rear of the Traveler just get it level with the front this in addition to a
3in body lift to accommodate modest 33's.  I still bend the rear edge of both
quarter panels under modest to heavy articulation.  I want the added lift up
front.  I am using Jim Maulis  http://www.off-road.com/~jweed/rshackle.htm tower
design 11" to try and increase clearance.  Once the rear is sprung over I can
adjust rear height by cutting down  the shackles to a height that correctly
levels out the vehicle.

Question:
1. Will this shackle reversal using 11" towers not afford me more than 1/2" of
lift in front?

2. Will I need a new rear shaft with the rear springover?

   You mean you want to put the springs over axle in the rear? That will
give you 5" of lift in the back to compensate for 1/2" in the front from
the reverse shackle!
   Bill Thebert says you can fabricate the Reverse Shackle to not give
you any lift in the front. I imagine this is done by reducing the length
of the front towers.
