Hi Denny, I enjoy the Bullet truck adventures (I have a LN65 ex. comp truck very similar to yours with these same shackles, but I only run 35’s) You are missing the point/advantage the swivel/hinged shackles give. In droop (extension) the eye-to-eye distance of the 2 types of shackles look very similar. But it is in compression (up travel) where the swivel/hinged type gives the advantage. Your existing straight shackle looks about 250-300mm eye to eye, but the swivel shackle when compressed (or at rest) is about 110mm eye to eye so you should pick up 100-150mm more of up travel. But because your wheels are hitting your tray on up travel you don’t get the advantage. How about putting some smaller dia. tyres on for a test and then maybe modify your tray for clearance. Anyway I always enjoy your videos.

did you ever consider doing some major welding to shorten the width of the rear spring mounts to allow for more flex?
