Rear Shackle question...Need input before installation.

Alright guys,

I received all my parts from SDHQ today which is awesome!! I want to verify something with the community first before I install. Here is what I have:

Front:
* Fox 2.5 Coils with remote reservoir (3 inches of lift)
* Camburg UCA

Rear:
* Fox 2.0 shocks with remote reservoir (1 inch of lift)
* Camburg rear 1.5 shackles

My question is, with this setup will my truck be level or will it have the ass end sticking up (which I dont want!!)?

 

Ass end will be sticking up. 3/1 is level

 

Ass end up by 1.5"

 

What he said.

 

So I wont need the shackles at all then correct?

 

if you want level. no.

 

awesome. Obviously I might have over researched a little.. Oops!

 

you could still use them if you plan on going with Deaver leaf packs later on.

 

Of course you will have saggy butt syndrome with a Yeti full of beer.
The little bit of rake levels out pretty fast with a small load.

 

Are you saying the shocks give you lift in the rear or they are designed for 1” or lift? I had a 3” front spacer and 1.5” toytec shackles in the rear. Had a slight amount of rake but looked good and rode well. When I was perfectly level the rear of the truck would sag with any weight in the bed.

 

The rears say 0" - 1" of lift.

 

the shocks won't give you lift. only the shackles will give you lift

 

So if the shackles I have are 1.5 then I am looking at .5 inches of the ass end sticking up correct?

 

I have 3” lift up front and CB+3 which is supposed to be about 1.5-1.75” of loft. My rear is about 1/2-3/4” higher than the front. If you don’t use the shackles your front might be slightly higher. Grab some Toytec adj shackles and set the At the lowest setting. Should net you close to level.

 

I don't think the shackles will actually give you the full 1.5 of lift

 

So @BlueBottle - If I use these shackles even though my rear will have some lift basically its not anything that is crazy noticeable?

 

My truck with 3” front, 1.5” shackles in rear

 

Ill probably just stick with them since when I put any weight in the back I dont want to be sagging terribly.

@DVYota - Do you notice much of a difference to the eye from the rear height sticking up?

 

For me it’s not bad. Because once you load the rear it doesn’t look like the ass is sagging. But I prefer a mild rake. I hate the stock rake though.

 

@BlueBottle - Damn your truck looks good! So in the picture did you have anything in the bed? To me that looks perfect!!

 

It was empty except for my bed extended, bakflip cover and stroller lol.

 

No. It was less rake than stock. I loved how it looked and it rode nicely.

 

There seems to be some unexplained smoke eminating from your rear end. You better have that checked out, could be serious.

 

Seriously. Maybe @dirtydeeds can explain that smoke? Seems to happen to all the trucks with their exhausts
