who has cheap rear extended shackles
all i want is about an inch or 2 longer just to give me some more tyre clearance to my tray. im pretty sure my rear springs are a bit sad but i dont want to pay 350 for new springs just yet if shackles will help me out as i dont really carry much of a load except fishing gear etc. where in brissy for a fj45 cruiser sells this kind of stuff?
Re: who has cheap rear extended shackles
Just get new springs and fix it right the first time...
Re: who has cheap rear extended shackles
just a tip about the lenth of the shackle you get half the increase of the shackle at the axel
eg: 2inch longer shackle = 1 inch at the axel lift
eg: 2inch longer shackle = 1 inch at the axel lift

And your tyres will still hit the tray when you go over a bump.
You need the bumpstops at the right height then you won't have tray clearance issues.

Re: who has cheap rear extended shackles
Thought about lifting the tray?
Don't take life too seriously...it isn't permanent.
Re: who has cheap rear extended shackles
Te issue is the springs. If they are sagging it's time to buy new ones or get the old ones reset.BadMav wrote:Thought about lifting the tray?

Re: who has cheap rear extended shackles
i guess i need to know if the springs really are bad enough to replace. how much weight should a fj45 be able to carry without the ass dropping badly? I dont want to go buy new springs and open up a new can of worms and have little improvement as its only once in a blue moon a have a big load .i only asked for a half meter of top soil the other day but it looked almost .75 to 1metre to me so i guess thats alot of weight.DAMKIA wrote:Te issue is the springs.

Re: who has cheap rear extended shackles
If your springs are shagged you'll be sitting low all the time.
IMHO just get the springs done, you won't regret it.

This is not legal advice.

Re: who has cheap rear extended shackles
Extended Shackles are illegal in QLD so you should replace the leaves or fit air bags for load carrying.
