Does anyone run these?

Post by cjdeane10 »

Hi,
this is a 'drop shackle kit stage 2' from superior engineering (http://www.superiorengineering.com.au/p ... gory=3#737)

Interesting. See Below for description of parts that come in the kit.

Does anyone run this kit?
Can this go straight onto a stock zuk (they did say it runs better with a 2inch lift)??

Any other nightmares anyone can see with running this?

This has been covered sooo many times.

If you want to drive on 44 gallon drums, go right ahead. If you want to drive on tracks with obstacles on them, you might want suspension that doesn't flop all over the place, spook you out on steep descents or big sude angles, and doesn't do wierd stuff when you get on the power.

There are a few people out there that still use drop shackles, but mostly they are for posing on ramps and 44 gallon drums with.

Whether they are worth having or not, $1700 is damn expensive. My father was recently quoted roughly $1200 for a complete sierra suspension kit to suit my specific weight requirements (springs lifted custom weight rated, all round long travle shocks, new bolts hangers etc, steering damper, etc, etc.)

I can only remember ever seeing one sierra with drop shakles in action, and yeah it seemed to go alright, But I'm with Grimbo and Steve, there are better ways to improve you vehicle (safer and more legal too).
Wheeling on completely wicked angles, without even looking stable.
