G or comfort shackles

lookskyward1 · Jun 17, 2016

I have fitted HD rear leaf springs and find the ride harsh at times on rough roads. No doubt it is time for new damper/shock absorbers but does anyone have any opinions on these?

I have had them, or similar, in my watched list for ages too. If no one has experience then I definitely think you should be the NNN tester!

I asked the same question yestersay, so ill be very happy to hear your feedback on what you go for, as im doing mine in July including the lift kit.

I think they get quite a bit of 'slop' in them, over time, due to the extra hinge point! Was thinking of going that way my self, but decided not to!
However, I have not had a firsthand experience with these, so would just be hearsay!
Comfort did increase though

I don't know if they give you more comfort but they give you more flex when going off road.

Yes, with the extra flex, they tend to get pretty 'loose' in the rear end. So when driving normally around corners my friend said he would feel the back end move around quite at bit, which worsened as time went on! He eventually gave up on them!
He did say they flexed well tho

Hearsay feedback, in this case is better than none. :awesomework

Good to know. So, when you want to go off road a lot you're better off with them but when staying it's a big nono.

On the road. I meant to say.
