Shackles and tires and T/B oh my! - 6/15/2007 10:42:13 AM    zukgod1   Posts: 23 Joined: 6/13/2007 Status: offline So I've searched here and here and online and I'm striking out on shackles for my 99 D. Who makes them and where is the best place to get them from? Second question, what size tires can we run after the Tortion bar and shackle lift? We are not looking for 35's here but I would like 33's if they dont look dorky and rub.Bacically just looking for a bit higher than stock. Point me in the right direction? dan < Message edited by zukgod1 -- 6/15/2007 2:08:18 PM > Post #: 1

As for the torsion bars... Well that's not hard to figure out. Size of tire, same thing didnt see anyone (in the 4 threads that showed up) that refered to what size tire would work. dan (in reply to deerang) Post #: 5

Didnt look like there was 2" of material there but it would move. dan (in reply to orlandozfreak) Post #: 6
