[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 434527, member: 18789"] I ran 4.75” shackles and noticed a drastic decrease in handling. I would 100% recommend getting rid of those at 6” long. That is going to hurt handling big time. The shackle angle sucks. That is because RC springs are made too short. Even on stock shackles the RC springs put the shackle just barely at vertical. Make the shackle longer and the slant gets drawn inward. As Stoopid said you definitely need longer bolts. Don’t know where you got those but you do not have near enough bolt threads engaged in the nuts to be considered safe. [/QUOTE]
