Leaf spring Shooter shackles

[norbyx]

Hi,
I have a moded hilift that isn't flexing much, so I know the chino mod and I have done it (still need to loosen the screws and put less diameter screws in the springs) BUT I was thinking of adding also some rc4wd shooter shackles. Now I also see that there is another upgrade that is the T-BOX, I am wondering how this works.
I mean I would have to install the shooter shackles to the back and the t-box to the front of the spring? If so why can't I just install 8 shooter shackles or 8 t box?
How much gain will I get by installing all this? Anyone has done it?
I would like some feedback and some help since spending $150 just for some spring upgrades is a lot of money and it better be worthy...

This is the flex I am getting at the momet, just changed the screws that hold the leafs for some smaller diameter ones and also left everything a bit on the loose side. Chino mod complete... How much flex could I gain with the shackles ????

It kinda looks like your shocks are limiting your down travel. On the uptravel it looks like your using all you got.

I will have to check on that... I can place the shocks on the upper hole in the axle and that way gain about 5mm ... Yes the uptravel is at is tops ... can't ask for more since if I go further the shackle overturns and gets the leaf stuck...

Ok moded the position of the shocks to the upper hole, also eliminated the rubber limiters. Now I gained a bit more than 1/4 inch.
