Just to toss a monkey wrench into shackle tech.
Dobinsons designs their leaf springs with less heavy springs and more arch with the shackles when new almost always vertical.
I was confused as I figured the ride would be terrible. I was proven wrong and have since moved all of my personal trucks (but one) and all of my custom builds to Dobinsons for the ride. Truly amazing.
I recently spoke to one of the largest Land Cruiser companies (remain nameless until they announce) but they are switching to Dobinsons for their kits as well.
I am not a SR fan. I’ve done one and hated the nosedive when braking. All else was about the same ride wise.
@lcwizard has a great old post somewhere about shackle length tech that even a salesman like me understood. I’ll go look for it
