Going to be switching over to 63" chebby's here pretty soon (knock on wood) and haven't been sure on what to do for the back hanger setup.

Originally was going to order some jonny joints from AP and run a 6" shackle.

Now i'm wondering if this is even needed.

Should I fork the cash and get the jonny's or just go with a normal shackle mount, both of which will be 4" back from stock.

I don't want to spend the money on the joints right now if they're not going to make that much of a difference or will the chevys will be enough articulation for me at this point? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Thanks in advance <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Roll Me Over
None of the guys I wheel with run anything other than the 63's and standard shackles, and have more than enough flex/articulation, and that is with running 37's. I wouldn't spend the money on Jonny joints now, you probably wont need them.
