i did a quick search, but didn't come up with anything conclusive. i'm sure this has been done a million times, but i'm just a zook driver asking for a mate who can't get online
he's wanting to make up some extended shackles for his 60 over the weekend, is there anything that he should look out for? how long is recommended? 2"? more, less? is castor affected, is a shim needed? anything else with the steering geometry that is affected? also, is it better to brace the shackles or not??
cheers guys!!
