After some advice for my 95 sierra.

Should I go SOA or Reverse Shackle and 2" or 3" springs?

I have read that the reverse shackle really improves the ride quality. Would this be effected if I then run spring lift?

If I go reverse shackle and a spring lift what else needs to be done? Brake hoses? Driveline spacers?

Cheers

With SOA you will need brake lines, driveline spaces, correction of steering ect, ect. I'm SOA and 2'' BL. I'm seriously considering removing the BL and modifying the guards.

I run 34's and plan to run them with only SOA. To much lift is not fun. Otherwise I've found it to work well

don't go spring over on lifted springs and a shackle reversal is a wasre of time and effoer for no real results.

Doesn't the reverse shackle give a 2" lift?

Thanks champ.

I'm still confused as what to do. I'm swaying towards something more simple like a 2" body and a 2" spring.
May just settle for 31's

shackle reversal is crap. just do 2" ruf and 2" boomerang shackles and bash the gaurds a little to fit 31"s. Any higher and it stops being functional and starts making it tip over.

what are you planing to drive? i know out the back of the brindies a good set up spoa is the duck guts because of the ramp over but 31's gearing locker and a shovel will get you most places out there

big thumbs down to boomerang shackles to drop shackles or what ever they are refered to but they give no advantage because when the rear flops down with that sick drop shackle flex all it does is flop no actual tracion is gained so they are usless unless u have a sick flex ramp comp to go to

Are boomerang same as bannana? They make the shackle not invert? Anti inversion?

I have shackles. But not hinged/pinned/drop/climax/snakeracing ones.
