Re: Drop Shackle ?

If this is a 4WD, stop now and look for a 2WD. Too much steering stuff to mess with.

Re: Drop Shackle ?

Two options to consider. Either you can relocate the stock hanger and run the shackles, or run the shackles and pull the overload. I am not that familiar with Burbs, so you will need to confirm which option will best suit your needs.
