If your current shackles are binding then booms will help... if not then no

 

I watched some YouTube videos tonight and it looks like they are not a bad idea. A couple of the people actually said it help with the ride quality. Probably more of the fact that they were greased for the first time in 20 years, but improvement none the less. Looks like it might be worth spending $100 or so for this upgrade

 

You could spend more money on a mod that'll give you less benefit.
Let us know what you think about any difference in ride.

Good Luck, L.M.

 

I wish I would quit finding easy mods and just go ahead and do my axle swap. But it is easier to hide $100 from the wife than it will be to hide $1200+��

 

Well, they are ordered. Should get them in this weekend. We will see how they are

 

Boomerang shackles in the front help prevent spring inversion which is not normally a problem. Boomerangs in the rear are better than H type shackles that will hit the frame and prevent the shackle from moving rearward. Unless you have a problem with spring inversion or the shackle hitting the frame in the rear you dont need them.



This is what can happen if you invert the spring with a standard shackle

A boomerang in the front keeps that from happening because the third bolt will hit the frame. There is a right and wrong way to install boomerangs and people improperly install them all the time.
