Title: Drop Shackles
Post by: macr0w on May 19, 2020, 08:27:08 am

Hey guys, a couple of quick questions about about drop shackles.
If I install a set of 2" drop shackles on my 84 do I need to worry about the pinion/driveline angle?
I understand that 2" drop shackles will give me about 1.5"-2" drop which is all I really want. (for now  ;D)
With that said, will I need shorter shocks?
Thanks in advance.  8)

You can install shock extenders but if you need shocks just replace them with the proper length shocks. You should always verify your pinion angle and driveshaft angle.
