[QUOTE="gnxtc2, post: 1518500, member: 1414"] On the OBS trucks, the shackle is in the front and the rear mount is fixed. The Reverse Shackle Kits, hence the name move the shackle to the rear. Now, the center pin on the OBS leaf packs are not centered. Couple the off center pin with the shackle up front, gave the OBS trucks a rougher ride compared to the SD trucks. So the popular mod was moving the crossbar forward a few inches, forgot the exact distance and install SD springs. The SD springs have a centered pin and are longer hence the reason for moving the crossbar forward which puts the axle in the stock location. The early RSK were made to utilize the OBS spring pack and just flip the shackles. Yes, they are bolt on. Since the majority doing this mod are using SD springs, the manufacturers came out a crossbar that bolts in the stock location and the front spring mount was extended. Back in the day, you either had to rotate the crossbar forward which place stress points at different locations that the mount was designed for, space the bumper out or cut the bumper. There are no rivets up front. The rivets are used to fasten the rear mount to the frame. There is a lot of debate over the angle of the shackle. You can read up on the theories on PMF's and Sky's website and make your own determination. I have my RSK in for over 150K miles and towed regularly 22k. Anymore questions, just ask or PM me for my cell. Billy T. [email]gnxtc2@aol.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
