Agreed. Eventually I will be going with the SLR spring packs, they seem to be getting really good reviews. I don't have the money for those now though, and want to run 32's without rubbing. My X is still under two months old, so my springs are still in good shape, but I can easily see how they'll flatten more easily due to the changed geometry. If it buys you time to save up for good springs, I think the $40 for the shackles is worth it. I understand that the SLR springs increase ride height even more than the shackles. What are people doing for the front end to balance out the spring packs? That seems like a lot of torsion lift, and I would not feel comfortable cranking it up that much (if it even would go that far).
