Your game asking that question
Basically as a bolt on item there not that good.
Mod the suspension to suit the drop shackels and they work really well.

thanx for that i already have taken 2 leafs out of the rear 2inch lifted springs an 2 inch exted shackels 2inch lift blocks gone rancho inverted rs9000 and have a patrol rear diff with 4.8 gearing fitted due to sick of replacing blown diff centers and as a bonus is 8 inch wider jus worried about drop shackles fliping open under acceleration. but yes i do know i realy need a ladder bar but due to custom diff need custom ladder bar i think.

talk to michael or brian (fatassGQ) from superior engineering and they can answer any questions you may have. but you really need longer springs and most important a trac bar.
