[QUOTE="ToyZuki, post: 1015066, member: 16934"] I was wondering if anyone was going to mention caster angle. but it sounds like you nailed it first. The long shackles only lift one side of the spring which rotates the axle effecting the caster angle. Your tires are biting and trying to turn back and forth like a shopping cart with a bad "caster". Its o.k. to run the longer shackles but you need to park on a flat surface and pich a flat spot on the axle to put an angle finder on. After you install the long shackles take the same measurment again and it will be different probably around 2-3*. What ever the number you come up with you can get wedged shims to correct the angle between the spring and the axle.:awesomework: [/QUOTE]
