hi just after some help i want to get a bit more flex out of my sierra i have a spoa but think the shackles are stock, if i buy different ones would that give me more flex, if so anyone reccomend some cheers

DON'T put longer shackles on a spoa vehicle (or any really). and no, will not give flex, mearly take some away.

would like to do a ruf but seems like alot of work and i dont think i have the skills to do it, what about removing a leaf spring?

I will have a RUF relocation bracket kit ready in 2 weeks. It makes it pretty much a bolt in mod.

Hey Pete,
What will the kit be worth

Heath

will you still need extended shackles with that bracket?

will you still need extended shackles with that bracket?

You don't NEED extended shackles for RUF. It is easier to use them, but I am trying to engineer a solution that will not reuire the use of extended shackles. You will ofcoarse be able to run extended shackles with this kit, but it will not be REQUIRED.

zuki: the brackets will maintain the factory diff location and castor.

that's true you dont but im not looking at extending my chasis and only doing half ruff, but at the same time i need to buy new shackles as mine are 6inch long eye to eye which is way to long for any thing! also fat zook what will be required to install this kit? as in what will need to be done cutting welding?

Ok sweet, so what rear springs will need to be used STD rears or can Lifted rears be used (eg 2" lifted rear springs

David

did you mean if you use 2" lifted in the front and 2" lifted in the rear the cars front end will sit higher then the rear?

ahhhh what if you used 2" fronts on stock shackles with your kit and then put extended rear shackles on with 2" rears as well hrmm and my offer still stands for you to test this kit on lwb ill wheel it and get lots of pics haha

Its set up for STD rears, as 2" lifted rears up front can give the front a higher stance than std's when using 2"lifted in the rear. (hope that makes sense )

Pete,
I have tried STD up front and they were way to soft and the car just sunk real low so had to use 2" lifted to bring front up[ to level with the back, thats why I asked.

heath

nah old ones

There is your problem Old springs suck. I prefer new ones with a leaf or 2 removed.

Looking good Dave. Go the hardtop

I wasn't being sarcastic I am really interested in your kits I was merely pointing out that I tried Old Std's and they were S@$T so I tried the lifted ones and it leveled it up good as.
