Superior shackles on the fork lift

[Waggoner5]

Heres a lifted from the front shot. Before/After. I realize they are from different angles but thats the best I have now. Follow the link in my signature to my webphotos to see more.

Please tell me this is a typo They look nicely made but thats a bit of coin.

They weigh 22.5 kilos a set of 4

Final retail price is not set yet.

Yes, $22,500.00 would be a lot for a set of shackles.!

;p

I read that wrong the first time too.

How about just a pair in the rear? Any negative effects? Reason being I already get plenty of felx from the front SOA, but it's lacking in the rear. What kind of lift over stock do these shackles give?

Thanks

Bob

I thought about just the rear also, but decided since I had them I would run them. I like the extra flex in the front now, because no matter how much the OME springs drop and twist in the rear, they still dont flex that great. Stock springs on a SOA would probably work better. The shackle at rest is about 1.5" longer than my Greaseable stock replacement ones from Man-A-fre.

These shackles live in Mississippi now. Thanks again, Matt.

Not sure I'm going to be able to get them on before I leave for Katemcy, but I sure want to try. Lots of mods to do it right.

You know that feeling when you get ready to do a really cool mod to your truck that's gonna maka a huge difference off road? I got it.

Nope, he originally intended to become the NA distributer, but the $1200 price tag skered everybody off. Check out the post dates of this thread, that was years ago.

Why do you think I waited to tell anyone I was getting them. All part of my master 4 year plan.

Yep, looks just like yours. Has that distinct 502 sound, too.

Man talk about resurrection from the dead. How old is this thread anyway? I miss that truck....

 

[cabron]

I was really impressed until I read the $1200 tag, Wow!

 

[euclid]

The shackles used a smaller diameter shackle bolt, and therefore a smaller ID bushing than my old shackles. Devo warned me about this ahead of time. Just like Devo did, I'm going to drill out the shackles to use the big 18MM bolts that came with my HFS extended shackles. I'll be able to keep my old bushings, which are only a couple of years old and are still fine.
