have you got any pics of the shackles? did you do the body lift yourself? if so how hard was it. How'd you go about registering it with 8" shackles? Dunno what state your in but im sure they'd have a cow here in QLD. But again mate thats a nice old truck you got there, cant wait for mine to look half beasty!!! :cool:

i get it rego'd easy here mate i
i got pulled over at rainbow beach about 4 months ago and QLD transport
old mate said they don't like extended shackles but mine because it's a import and the shackles look original he cant do anything and it's rego is NSW and he didn't like the body lift either but 2'' is legal down here so thats all i got
i got a mate thats got some 37 MTR'S for sale so i put them on and they rubbed on the springs on lock so they were no good but it looked awesome
