Question with shackles on a '99 as far as shorter shackles
Do they make shackles that are shorter than the stock shackles for rangers?? In my town we squat our trucks, a reverse rake, and I really dont want to slam my truck in the back by flipping the hangers or axle, I just want like a 1-2 inch drop. Any info will be EXTREMELY appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Question with shackles on a '99 as far as shorter shackles
why don't you go look at them? anything is possible once you get off the computer and figure out a way to do it.

I have looked, and I've talked to lots of people. I don't have tons of cash to blow if modding it messes it up. And I don't know a whole lot about shackles and stuff so don't preach to me about going out and looking at my stuff.

I know you gave me info but you didn't have try to preach your message of getting off the computer like I've seen you do on other posts, it's like you know how to do anything and everything. Did you do all the mods to your truck yourself or did you bring it in to a shop? And they ain't in a wad.

Re: Question with shackles on a '99 as far as shorter shackles
the suspension components were made by my friend's company, but install was done by me. bumper i made with a friend, fiberglass i installed and "painted" myself, stereo install was done by me, projector retrofit done by me, you get the picture. only thing my truck went to the shop to install was tint.
and when it comes to suspension, i would really hope i know a good amount of info since that's what my job deals with.

Re: Question with shackles on a '99 as far as shorter shackles
You could it the right way and go spring under. You could kick the 2" block out. You could do a shackle flip. You could run XJ shackles for about an inch drop but you loose travel which is fucking beyond stupid if you are trying to build something that works and not just look stupid.
I would recommend looking into what effect your cheap mod has on your suspension and spend the extra time and money to do it right instead of half ass.

How damn low do you need to go? From the sound of it you just want a look not something that actually works so order some OEM Jeep XJ shackles.

flipping the rear hangers is only like 2" drop
