Instead of a shackle, the sliders move back and forth to allow the springs to flex.

The sliders work great for keeping it low and keeping it very stable, with now shocks and soft springs the truck has less body lean under hard cornering then it did with the ttb front end and much better flex. The sliders offer 10" of room for the leaves to move but so far mine only move about 3", but I need to do a few things then that should change.

We'll the sliders are no longer on my truck due to wearing out a set of leaf spring bushings in 3 months with only using it on pavement, went to a rear shackle mount setup and truck is just as stable but more flex.
