Lol..............."Ride" is a function of spring rate & shock dampening. Shackles don't enter into the equation unless it would be to give more room for spring flex prior to bottoming out.............This isn't factually debatable...........

Really? I'm so glad you got me on the right track......lol
I think we are talking about 2 different things, I don't know what they are calling a "good ride". To me it's like it rode when new, which mine does with just shackles.

Well I spoke to Cary and got some good ideas. The only thing I really didn't care for was his suggestion that I go to a 18" or 20" tire. I'm not a big fan of big wheels.

Did anybody have problems with replacing the bushing in the frame when they installed the shackle lift?
