Works fine as-is and w/o a trac-bar, I am a little concerned with axle wrap. Also, I need to tweak my shock setup to handle the extra travel as well as cut out my wheel wells, since I suspect I will be hitting pretty hard on the stuffed tire if the other side drops down.

What's the angle on that? length?
how well does it work?

I read that you want the angle to be around 50-60 degrees, that 45 wasn't good


I'd say they are about 9.5" long...as for angle...prolly 45 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Works great.

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />, i'm only going off what i read

I would think it would be a good angle, enough so that the shackle is moving in the right direction but still enough room to move back [Linked Image]

I used to get a pretty flat shackle angle with 7" shackle, stock hanger and 56" springs:

Flex was great, but it was a little unstable on the road. Now with a more upright shackle, it works better on the road.
