are they worth the money? Im sick of my springs hitting my frame offroad,heck I hear it everyday after work when I pull into my driveway!
who has them,and how do you like them?
 
everyone I know that has them likes them, I have them but the K5 hasn't done anything but move from the driveway to the garage since install. They are way heavier duty than the stock parts and great quality, I think I am gonna be quite happy with them. Can't see the spring contacting the frame anytime soon either.
 
Can someone measure the center to center distance on the holes in the ORD shackles? When I put my '60 in I'm going to upgrade to 1/2" hardware and bushings and I want to make new shackles at the same time.
 
If I were to do it over again I think I would relocate my shackle hanger forward on the frame and make like a 2" longer shackel for better shackle angle. I must say just sitting there not worn in and not flexing the shackle angle doesn't impress me on the ORDs.

My current shackles aren't stock and I can't remember how long they were compared to stock, either.

They are the exact same length as my stockers on the 88 /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
 
I believe in later years they came form the factory with longer shackles to prevent the spring frame contact thing.
