LML-L5P John C Drop Shackle Install

[@whaleyduane]

Nice video much easier than all the other video’s I’ve seen one question did you have to remove the trailer hitch.

[@carsaddiction7400]

Call you tell me if you have a leveling kit on front if not how bad do the wheels rub please let me know thanks

[@adamj3278]

No leveling kit, drop shackles and bumper spacer that’s it and the wheels rubbed a small spot less then a quarter size on the inner wheel well liner

What's the offset on the wheels

What size drop shackles were these... 1.4 or 2 and did you have to fuck with the pinch weld?

[@adamj3278]

1.4 John c garage at the time there the only ones out

[@BigpoppaKC]

why not just jack stand by the frame, then use the floor jack under the pumpkin to release pressure off the shackles???

[@adamj3278]

The whole leaf pack needed to be turned anyways. I dont feel like anything would have been gained, I can only do one side at a time anyways but I’m sure if you can do it the way you explained the outcome will likely be the same.

[@mondo9.2.5]

whats the biggest wheel and tire you can do with this ?

[@adamj3278]

I ran 22x12s and I won’t go any bigger unless I got a leaving kit or some sort of lift. The turning radius was super close with the set up I had.

[@carsaddiction7400]

I just got the same setup 305-40-22 with drop shackles front rubes like crazy in the back

[@adamj3278]

That’s not good I will send you a pic of the spot my rubbed maybe there slightly different

[@carsaddiction7400]

@@adamj3278 now don't know what to do lift or leveling any ideas

[@adamj3278]

@@carsaddiction7400 level, it’s not nearly as expensive and you can do it with in a couple hours. But it really all depends on your budget and what you prefer I will lift my truck down the rd but it’s also bc I wanna run 24s and 35s

[@VegasJPH]

Looks fairly easy but damn, I hate undoing leafs & the U bolts. Never seem to get everything riding the same after once.

[@adamj3278]

In my opinion it rides better little stiffer not as much bounce. I did change my shock shortly after it make it ride even better ! Thanks for watching 🤘🏽

[@VegasJPH]

@@adamj3278 I just want meaty tires on the stock Denali wheels. I like the stock wheels. Then either level the front or do these in the rear. Not sure yet, I do plan to tow a 5th wheel soon & I don't want sag after a trailer is connected if I do level. So many choices. lol

[@everything_delete8005]

What grease did you use in them shackles

[@adamj3278]

I used all purpose grease on the ends to help them slide in easier, as far as a grease fitting on the actual shackle there is not a grease fitting.

[@DURTYMAXLML]

Nice video man!👍

[@adamj3278]

DURTYMAX LML thanks man I appreciate it 🤘🏽

[@inedibletwo]

Are those 12 or 14 wide and do u rub or cut anything

[@adamj3278]

They are 22x12 and I didn’t cut anything at all I just installed a bumper mod (couple videos back) and I do rub at full lock, it rubs a super super small area if you message me on instagram I will send you over some pics if you would like.

[@MegaMikerojas]

Is the front completely stock? What size are your tires?

[@adamj3278]

MegaMikerojas yes it’s completely stock nothing changed at that point

[@adamj3278]

MegaMikerojas the tires are 305/40/22

[@brettnelson8268]

How much do you figure you lose in height from that drop , underground parking question lol

[@adamj3278]

Brett Nelson roughly 1 in lower in the rear.

[@chrismoyers4382]

Good video, very helpful..

[@Itsrzep]

Take the u bolts off?

[@adamj3278]

No I loosened them enough to slide them forward and then turn the leaf pack.

[@Itsrzep]

@@adamj3278 well we took the front bolts out of the leaf spring and now can’t get the leaf spring to go back down lol we need some help

[@adamj3278]

@@Itsrzep tap it with a hammer or something, it’s definitely a tight fit
