There are advantages / disadvantages to both..... You won't get 2" of lift from Extended Shackles alone - the most you will get is around 30-40mm from 50mm (2") longer shackles - & this is the maximum longer shackle that you should attempt. Reason is that a Shackle Lift only lifts one end of the ...

Extractors won't alter RPM at all - with the same engine, only a gearing change or tyre size change will affect RPMs at a certain speed. Gearbox is expensive & unlikely - Diff Ring & Pinions are just as unlikely - you have 5.29:1's at the moment. 5.57:1's are available from the Auto Feroza but these ...

David. I fitted a set of Hurricane extractors with 2" exhaust and a Lukey sports muffler and I have to say the performance increase wasn't all that noticable except up around and over 5000RPM. Had heaps more torque down low with the standard system. Interesting Leon. I've got the Hurricanes too and ...

A) I would stick to around 3.5" of lift. Around 2" of Spring Lift & around 1.5" of Extended Shackle lift ( 2" longer Shackles ) is pretty much ideal. You won't be able to match the front Torsion Bar lift anyway, so any higher than 3.5" is useless. B) Personally I wouldn't cut the bumpstops ...
