Lifting my 75

Post by toy75 »

Just bought a stocko hj 75. I am hoping to put 33's underneath. Money is a bit tight, so I am thinking of going enxtended shackles. If i get 2 inch extended shackes, this will give me a 1 inch lift correct. Also, how high is safe. I am planning to get them made out of harden steel? Good.
Any thoughts on this or peoples experiences would be appreciated.

Cheers

just make sure your shocks are long enough!but you should be fine running 33s because the original 16x 7.50s sre very close to the same height!i think if you use 2inch shackles it will give you that amount of lift .you only get the 1inch lift from going 2inch bigger tyres!i spent about 2200 on old man emu 2 inch lift(4 springs 4 shocks and steering dampner)and am very happy with it!

cheap lift is a 2 inch body lift looks good and then go the shackels. U should fit 33s on it standard with no lift but a extra few inches is always good. But if u want new suspension go see boby at allset springs he does a great job and cheap...... I just had mine done and i am more than happy

Yeah, you are right 2" shackles will give 1" lift. bodylift is also an easy option to do.
If you want suspension at a later date $1400 full kit springs,shocks.u/bolts,bushes,greaseable pins,damper.
