hey guys,
Thinking about getting drop shackles in the near future. Was just wondering if some people who have them can post pictures of travel and what they think about them.

Cheers..

most guys will say they are just for posing as they require no weight on the wheel before the drop therefore provide no benifit. I personally haven't driven on them so can't say for sure.

if your deadset keen on drop shackles, trying finding pics and info of Dino from climax suspensions sierra, it was yellow with blue cage/sliders and wheels.

that thing looked impressive on a travel ramp, he could get a rediculous amount of flex out of it. His sierra was alot more modified then just shackles though.

Does anyone here have pics of it? i can't find any, not even on his site.

weaves.

I'd be investing the money you want to spend on shackles into a locker it will take you alot further than shackles.

Have a look at simcoz's sierra, was running Superiors. If you want drops they are the ones to go for as they accommodate for the twist as well which is what limits most of the leaf sprung vehicles.
