I know I have to fix the block set-up, I don't drive
it cause I am in college right now. I graduate in
May, soooo...let the dakota fixes begin.
1. Are shackles that hard to do (I live on a farm, so
access to tools of all sorts is not a problem)?
2. How much and where is the best place to get them?
I have a three inch drop right now with the blocks.
3. Do you have to use shims with shackles?
4. Can you do just shackles for 3", or do you have to
do hangers as well?
TIA,
Gregg
