The rear shackle mounts for your front leaf springs, when you drop that bad boy down do something like this :cool:

Stolen from Shaffer btw :wink:

IT A COOL IDEA...BUT HOW ABOUT LOSING THE SHACKLE REVERSE AND DO THAT BUT IN THE VERY FRONT!!!!SHACKLE REVERSE IS SUPPOSED TO RIDE BETTER BUT SHACKLE FORWARD IT SUPPOSED TO CLIMB BETTER!!!(SINCE THE AXLE IS PULLING ON A SOLID MOUNT IN THE REAR OF THE SPRING, INSTEAD OF LOSING THAT FORCE TO A MOVEABLE SHACKLE!!!)

I'm liking the Ballistic Air shocks, a little larger bodied for some more weight support, $225 a piece up to 16" travel. Still new so no real proven trials.

after asking here about them i changed my mind. most people dont like what comes from ballistic. i saw the thread on pirate and most of them did not like it.. i dont know. i might buy the SAW from my cousin cause he is not going to use them anyway.

Yea I do like the shocks, they seem pretty nice. Still probably going with coil-overs on my rig, I like Cadillac rides with large amounts of body roll :wink:

Yea I never read through the whole thread, but they were getting railed pretty hard!

I THINK IT WAS THE GUY GETTING RAILED FOR COMPARING THEM TO OTHERS....EASY RICK BEING PISSY(I THINK OVER SOME ALUMINUM WELD-ON BEADLOCKS...)AND NO REBOUND SPRING!!!THEY SEEM PRETTY TUNEABLE,IM JUST LAZY AND FOUND ONES THAT HAVE ULTRA SLOW DAMPENING THAT JUST SO HAPPENS TO WORK WELL IN THE ROCKS!!!!

IM SURE YOU CAN MAKE ANY OF THEM WORK LIKE THAT WITH A BUNCH OF TUNING TIME!!!!

[L.D.]

all i can say is if the shocks are anything like the rest of their CRAP, i wouldn't use them on a bet. that being said, who is this SAW, and how do i look at their stuff?
