shackle flip question???
I installed a shackle flip in my 71' F100 4X4. Now the rear dif moves to the side causing the passenger side rear tire to rub on the inside of the fender well. What can I do to eliminate this movement ? Can any help me here that has done a shackle flip and may have experienced this problem?

I've never heard of this problem before but I would check to see if your shackles are bent and check the shackle bushings also. My only other thought is if you drilled new holes in the frame for the bracket they may not be even on both sides, pushing the axle to the side.

No the shackles are not bent.And the bushings are new. And I placed the holes back where they were in the front. It just seems like the shackle is too weak to handle the side to side movement of the rear dif.
