hmmm, why do I remember reading somewhere that once you went lower than a shackle drop it was advisable to change over to a one piece? Alrighty then, I guess I can proceed without to much worry then. Got some Bell Tech shackles to try on first. See where the level look leaves me and go on from there, Thanks guys
