lifting shackles leaning my anus over?

[Shawboy]

My lifting shackles on one side of my vehicle have are angled outwards causing my vehicle to lean.
Has anyone experienced this??
is there a cure??

Trucks will usually lean/sag on drivers side due to worn out leaf springs
Lift shackles kill leaf springs by allowing them to flex back on themselves (inside out if you like)
Personally I'd bin them and run standard shackles

i like the ride height. is there another solution. uprated leaf springs?

[kiwizook]

lift springs will be a good solution, you can also try spoa

[trotter]

Look at lifted leaf springs, or as kiwi zook said change it to spoa (spring perch over axle) but that involves welding the spring perches on top of the axles for the springs to run on top instead of under it.. It will give you lift but can make trucks unstable, as it raises the centre of gravity.

Have a search of the suspension section for different options of lift springs people have used.

I got some llama 4x4 +2" springs and i love them

Looks like it might already be lifted on more than just shackles? Got any pics?

Honestly it's worth fitting stock length shackles, it will not loose much height, will correct the caster and driveline angles, will improve the steering response and handling and it will improve the approach and departure angles.

As someone who has had 3"+ shackles on I'd definitely agree with that!
They're not so bad on the back but having them on the front gives you boat-like steering!

It has a 2 inch body lift due to the engine conversion and 4inch lifting shackles at back and 3 inch lift at the front. it was fine until i think i hit one of the shackles off roading then ever since it seems to be leaning more and more but i cant seem to find any damage hense why ive posted it on here. Has anyone got a link to purchase lifted leaf springs or spoa?. As for the boat like steering driving it in 4 wheel drive cures that.
so from what ive been reading i either put some standard shackles back on it or i purchase lifted leaf springs or spoa is this right?

If you've been running shackles that long for a while then your springs are probably already fubar'd unless you had some very long bump stops on there.

I would get some lifted springs and put standard shackles or a different shackle setup on there if I were you. Many options are available depending on you skill and budget.

You shouldn't use 4wd on the road as you will get transmission wind up.
