A vehicle chassis with a first frame rail and a second frame rail. There is rear suspension with a first leaf spring and a second leaf spring each pivotally connected to the first and second frame rails, respectively. In some embodiments, the rear suspension includes a first shackle assembly connecting the first leaf spring with the first frame rail such that the first shackle straddles the first leaf spring, and a second shackle assembly similarly straddling the second leaf spring.

Rear suspension assembly

A vehicle includes a vehicle wheel, a vehicle frame and an adjustment mechanism configured to move the vehicle wheel relative to the vehicle frame. The adjustment mechanism includes a cam stud and a cam spacer. The cam stud extends at least partially through the vehicle frame. The cam spacer is rotationally fixed to the cam stud. Rotating the cam spacer moves the vehicle wheel relative to the vehicle frame.
