those running 52's...what shackles?

[muddybuddy]

i know mikey made a thread with all the 52/56" spring swap stuff, but i duno if there was anything bout shackle length. are you guys running 6" or 7.25"? im going to order the B52's and not sure which length shackle i should go with. im going to be running 3" lifted 52's. thanks

I've got the B-52's and I decided to go with the 7.25" shackle. I went that route only because that's the length that I've seen several other people go with.

i'll be running 8" shackles, see how they work, if it's too much, i'll redrill. not a biggie.

I made mine to fit. Just long enough to keep the spring away from the frame when the spring is complete flat. Came out to 6.25"

I think 6" would have been okay, but I added 1/4" for safety margin.
