Easy shackle reversal using stock hangers

clffhnger · Sep 25, 2000

One of the hardest parts of doing a shackle reversal is making sure you're gonna be able to align it. I used the original hangers, torched off the rivits, moved the rear hanger to the front, using the rear hole of the hanger and the front hole of the original rivit. Drill out that hole and mount with 1/2" grade 8 bolt. Now take the old front hanger, flip it front to back and using the rivit hole in the frame closest to the front (just like you did with the rear hanger) drill it out and mount it with 1/2" grade 8 bolt. See pics here and ones to follow.

How did it affect your ride? Flex?

Rides real nice, like a car, not a truck. You can go over speed bumps at speed. As for flex, what do you think?
