Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just looking on ebay and seen these monster shackles


http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HILUX-TOYOTA-FUL ... dZViewItem

materials look a bit thin for my likings!

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.

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

FLEEEEEEEXXXXing steel, sounds like an interesting ride

Give them a miss , not so good , Cheers Paul.

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.

id use them on my car......






























thats sitting on my garage floor... they are made of 5mm steel maximum, compared to the 10 or 12mm recomended.

Looks more like 3mm plate.

back yard jobbies.

your kiddin

I asked him he said they are made from 6.2mm. Anyhow still think they are ghay

Check the body lift for sale by same guy...
6 nylon blocks, 6 aweful short looking bolts.

read the feed back, 2 people have paid 140+ for them and 1 at 120+ dollars for the full set, my guess is young blokes that dont know better, hope we dont go seeing them on the front page of the paper...

hahaha that is funny. Good laugh. Guys ive only just turned 18 and i no not to look twice at stuff like that. Look how thin the crap is and the fact that they are what? Four inches over Standard what a joke aye. The blokes that brought em must be outa there minds!! Hope fully they dot get carried away and see some vulnerable lives lost due to shit that ppl sell. too right on that.

may be on a billy cart

rob

The worst part is people have bought and are using them... that is so unsafe

Its like they made them from a Meccano set!

PFT wouldn't even make a good paper weight 4In WTF

bahahahahaha...

stainless bolts in the body lift kit too, instead of high tensile

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

This is why so many mods are illegal!!!

i thought stainless bolts couldnt be rated or only very very low?

well when i first seen them my mate next to me going yeah bro get them but i had my doubts about it . i dont like the idea of the bolt through the middle tooooo dodgy !

its cool thanks heaps for steering me away from these death shackles i will just get the snake racing ones

cheers guys

bolt through the middle dodgy??.... not dodgy but everything else looks dangerous.

Yeh, the snake extended shackles are cop magnets too! They are bright red and ive had m8's get done (3 of) for em. They all got put on the hoists and done. But thats not stopping you from goin to supercheap and buying black paint for 2 bucks.
