Would cutting off then rewelding your leaf shackles in the back give you more of a lift? And also would switching to explorer leaf springs give you lift also?

Hmmm...not sure how much room you have on the frame to move the mount. I just used longer shackles. For each 2" longer shackle you get an inch more of lift -- but you don't want too long a shackle. I got 2" longer shackles to get that inch of lift.

 

the explorer leafs should give u a lift...for some reason, the 4x2 edge's rear sits higher than a ranger xlt 4x4.....maybe if u swapped them out...maybe

 

cutting your shackles???? what are you talkin about bro??


exploder would probably give you more lift but im not positive. itde just be cheaper and easier to get an add a leaf.

 

i think he means hanger...? its a novel approach but couldnt ya'll do a shackle flip to get more lift? or are the shackles already flipped? us big boys can do it...

 

flipping the hanger will lower, and relocating it is..... well .....pointless.


just get and add a leafs or some higher springs from deaver

 

relocating isn't pointless but it is kind of a pain in the *** and not worth it. If you are going to relocate your hanger you might as well move the front one forward 6 inches and then throw in some 63" chevy springs for a good 3" of lift. All you have to do is grind off 4 rivits and drill 2 new holes in the frame. The springs can be had for $100-150 bucks, any 88-98 chevy half ton will do.

 

^ that is what i wanna do if i get the pro comp lift spindles...

 

^^i second that.....either that or add some bigger blocks and shackles to the rear....the shackles will give u a better flex...

 

umm... no thanks to shackles and blocks...
