Outer Limits 4x4 Board

all i want is about an inch or 2 longer just to give me some more tyre clearance to my tray. im pretty sure my rear springs are a bit sad but i dont want to pay 350 for new springs just yet if shackles will help me out as i dont really carry much of a load except fishing gear etc. where in brissy for a fj45 cruiser sells this kind of stuff?

Just get new springs and fix it right the first time...

just a tip about the lenth of the shackle you get half the increase of the shackle at the axel

eg: 2inch longer shackle = 1 inch at the axel lift

And your tyres will still hit the tray when you go over a bump.

You need the bumpstops at the right height then you won't have tray clearance issues.

I'm selling some 1.5'' extended shackles if your interested, can post PM for more info

Thought about lifting the tray?

Te issue is the springs. If they are sagging it's time to buy new ones or get the old ones reset.

i guess i need to know if the springs really are bad enough to replace. how much weight should a fj45 be able to carry without the ass dropping badly? I dont want to go buy new springs and open up a new can of worms and have little improvement as its only once in a blue moon a have a big load .i only asked for a half meter of top soil the other day but it looked almost .75 to 1metre to me so i guess thats alot of weight.

If your springs are shagged you'll be sitting low all the time.

IMHO just get the springs done, you won't regret it.

Do NOT get the blue shackles

Ive got some spare shackles, you can have them.
Machine cut, Made from 10mm plate, 145mm between eyelets. 2 sets of holes have been ribbed to fit normal/greasable shackle pins propperly.

Pick up from Brissy

Extended Shackles are illegal in QLD so you should replace the leaves or fit air bags for load carrying.
