Apart from making up some extended shackles are they any shackles from other makes models of 4x4s that can be used to replace the standard shackles that are already on the car, do older model holden use a 50 mm shackle and are they any longer?

Hilux springs are wider though so if the thread on the shackle has a step then you wont be able to tighten it enough.
