I want to bump up to 35's and I planned on keeping my current leafs (RE 3.5") so my two options are to keep the stock shackle on there and get the TNT UBE's in the 1.5" variety or get the 1" UBE's and the shackles from teraflex's BB.

Which one will yield greater flex, or will it be too small of a difference to notice?


Here's a link to the UBE's

Get longer shackles, they will be more beneficial.

Or look into the shackle relocation box with a slightly longer shackle still.

Yup relocation brackets would probably do the trick.

Adam said he used a fork lift and gained 4" of droop with stock shackles.

Shackles + brackets
Ubolt Eliminators will result in increased pinion wrap (at least, the math and theory would suggest this. I've no first-hand experience) and wear the piss out of your springs every time you got onto the skinny pedal.

I know there has been very long debates about this on here, so I am not even going to go into that.

I probably will go will the 1/2" UBE's with the relocation boxes, this way the UBE kit will relocate my stock shocks and I will be able to keep them and then the only thing that will be dragging over rocks will be my center section.

Thanks
