what is the best angle to put your shackles at?

Not Jobless · Nov 21, 2008

Shackles...those things you wear on the prison bus? I didn't realize you could adjust the angle.

How many years you up for?

Crash doesn't know what he's talking about. It's 45 degress.

45 degrees sounds about right...give or take

The "ideal" angle for shackles is 90 degrees to the floor as they hang on the wall cause they were replaced with links and coils :haha: :fawkdancesmiley:

So they don't collapse against the frame :awesomework:

(ask me how I know:haha

45* is a great place to be as a ride hight and
grommit is right with the shackle on the frame is a no no.

I usually take a piece of string and mark it with the overall flat length of the spring. After that I will tie it at the center of the spring hanger bolt and pull it taunt. With this measurement you can tell what the shackle angle will be at full compression (flat spring) This will help you with the shackle against the frame problem.
