Regardless of other considerations, 4" shackle lift? Tell 'im he's dreamin'!

They look like they'd bent on the first speed hump you hit. :shock:

might be alright.......ON A GOKART!!!! wouldnt put em on my cruiser tho. I made my own about three year ago,easy as, just make sure you put a decent sized bolt threw the centre to stop them leaning apart and flogging out bushes

not a hope in hell, if they shackles didnt fail, the angle would be so f***ed up that the spring would bend or crack in no time

They look like they aren't welded across either, which means that each side of an individual shackle can move relative to the other... so even if they didn't bend they'd still twist fark out of the springs.
This is not legal advice.

So, if it's giving 4" of lift, they will have to be 8"s longer than a standard shackle anyway :? :shock: Unless your going to have shackles on each end of the spring :rofl:
