Front shackle relocation on stock length springs for better ride?
Hi guys! Been a long time lurker but decided to sign up to ask a question.
My truck has a 4" lift on which I no nothing about(bought it with the lift). It rides like crap, and was wondering if relocating the front shackle forward and using longer shackles with a rearward angle would allow for a better ride? I will be putting TC EZ rides in the rear (has blocks right now). I've been googling this and questions like it(52" swaps, etc.) for a few days now, but figured I'd just ask you guys since hardly anyone seems to have done this. In my search I have found that a lot of people have said that an angle of 20-45 degrees rearward (it varies a lot with most saying a 30 degree hang rearwards is best) helps with ride. One guy said he did it to his buddies truck with the stock length spring and said it rode way better. Also it seems that a lot of the 52" swaps end up with a similar shackle angle which seems to be an underlying trend that helps with ride and flex. A lot of the people who have done this swap say the new shackle angle helps. So my thinking is doing what the 52" swap guys do minus the actual 52" spring swap. What do you guys think? Thanks. |
