I like :) where did you get the shackles from bro? I wanna do mine like yesterday now, looking at yours. How does she ride? My suspension shop say that they get a lot of complaints of vibration in the rear when they do the shackles.

You are changing the driveshaft angle with the shackles so you might get a vibration. On one of my old trucks it had a bad vibration from about 40-45mph.

shims fix that though. :)
