Title: Shackles...is the brand important?
Post by: mykol on January 07, 2007, 01:04:42 AM

First off, hi everyone, i'm new to both suzuki's and 4 wheeling in general. i picked up a starter truck for me, 86 sammy hard top. i've taken it out for an initial run to see what i'd like to improve, and i have to say that it was a very impressive little truck. i've gotten it mechanicaly sound and functional, and now i'm onto performance. i'm on a budget, its a starter truck, so i'm not looking to go ballastic. i'm thinking for now of just doing 2" shackles and squeezing in some 29 or 30 mini mudders. in my searches on the net i've seen a few diff brands for shackles, does anyone have any suggestions on which brands i should stick with, or any horror stories of terrible companies? thanks for the replies/info in advance.

whatever looks the strongest and just be sure to get 1 piece shackles not like the ones you get at autozone.

trail tough is good, rocky road would be fine. and yeah one piece is important. I'm running the ones from rocky road and have never had a problem with them. What I did have a problem with was the amount of time that rocky road took to ship me the shackles.

Boomerang style shackles in the rear help with droop.
