Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys, im looking into some superior drop shackles for the back of my lux, just wondered if anyone is running them and what are your thoughts on them, how much of an improvement did they make to flex, etc.

thanks DAN.

its alot more than just bolting them in to make them work. do a search its been covered before.

do a search there have been quite a few threads about these.

I've got them front and rear on my MK patrol. A hell of a lot of work was involved...

All drop shackels are Poo

Hmmm Axel Wrap, Unforced Articulation, and a flexed corner of the car that wont take weight till the shackle has folded back up again

Mmmm Stable

yeah i used to have them on my old rodeo they worked ok but one thing you must have is long springs a mate had them on his hilux with 4inch parabolic springs and they would not work im not to sure but i think the boys at superior were running xd falcon leaf springs so they could get the length but as i said im not to sure on that

Was at an rti (ramp travel index) and a guy had some on his suzuki and they wouldnt drop when he wanted them to unless he smashed them with a hammer! After that don't think i'll get them.

Well ok then. Would it be possible to make up something that has the twisty thing on the shackles.....The bit that attaches to the spring.
