How much extra flex would i get with drop shackles>wat sizes are they

how much are they new?

[royce]

length of drop shackles open-minus length of shackles you are taking off/2

bugger all really, only benefit is maybe more sideways movement (good for flex, bad for stability)

[oscar]

yeh, sum1 has some brand new ones for 200. seperior bbs. thinking about getting them.

[Bad_zook]

the way i see it... and i just got a pair from steve, and i'll see once I've installed them, but the whole idea of them is more downward travel.. therefore keeping the wheel's on the ground... more drive..!

[oscar]

yeh i know, but i wasn't sure if they usually fully open or not to give max flex.
i need to see if my shocks are going to be long enough first

[steve]

just chuck em on, break your shocks and get new ones later.

i think they could be good if you can play around with springs and shocks to get them to work properly. all the zoh dudes have them front and rear and they seem to work well. They have all done some kind of custom spring pack also.

[oscar]

cool

[steve]

well, that sounds reckless doesnt it, heh, i never broke my shocks.

I think a good design track bar would help also, so you don't get too much diff twist/spring wrap.

[oscar]

iam allready getting pretty big spring twist i thought the drops would help,
my back shocks are tarago one or something which have more travel then the bombodore ones i thing. u think they will not be too short.

can i more the rear brake bracket to get the liine closer to diff so i dont have to but another extended line?

[oscar]

us zook owners tend to be wreckless dont we

[steve]

i don't think the shackles will help with spring wrap. if anything , they will let the diff flex more because it's allowed to move more freely.

if you stick the drop shackles on and take the shocks off at the bottom, and flex it up, then see if the shocks will reach still.

[oscar]

ok cool. cheers big ears

[royce]

I just twisted the bracket on the chassis end so it pointed at the diff more and that took a lot of strain off it

[oscar]

cool, i was thinking that, but wasn't sure if it would be enough.
i guess i need to just put them on and flex it up and do all these things

[oscar]

Did i put these in right??????

[joshNZ]

ive seen them fitted the other way

[oscar]

damn

[royce]

nope they will fight like buggery and twist the spring on bumps like that

[oscar]

so i wanna reverse then so they are bent foward? or are they upside down as well?

I think iam meant to have them facing foward, but i have tags welded on in front of puchases to stop shackles friping around. and on the drivers sided it would take out the fuel filler

What do i do here? cut off tags and?

[oscar]

...

[royce]

I think like pic 2 but upside down

[oscar]

so like this. i leave the tag?

[royce]

yeah I think thats it

piss the tag off, does nothing

see, you shoulda jsut got longer springs

[oscar]

hahaha,yeh
cheers

it flexed up pretty good last night with it on the wrong way

[mattc]

I guess the ones you can see on the Superior website gallery would the correct way. http://www.superiorengineering.com.au/g ... ure&id=289

[oscar]

yeh i seen that then confirmed it with the previous owner

cheers

[joshNZ]

how are these goin have the made any diff?

[just_cruizin]

The sticker would give it away, Mick would put the sticker up the other way if they were meant to be that way.

[oscar]

havent tested them yet ah, been too busy, will try and get out this week and get some pics.
