3.5 BDS lift, Shackle question
Hi all I have been around a little while doing a lot of research, I have a question about the shackles I should run with the BDS 3.5 spring. I bought some daystart 1/2" lift shackles and if you run them the way the instructions suggest the military wrap hits the off center tube. My question is, would I have any problem if I ran the shackles upside down? It doesnt appear that there would be any interfernce with anything, but I am not sure about doing this.

Boomers for sure, i recomend MORE but Brandon makes some good ones too, and IIRC RC is now making them...

I would've suggested some MORE boomerang shackles, but if you've already bought the others go with it. If they're straight shackles I'm pretty certain it doesn't matter which way they're installed.
