Longer Shackles Rear Axle

**MTB 9** · 2011/12/01, 09:13 AM

I was wondering where I could find longer shackles for my Hilux to replace the existing Shackles at the rear Axle in order to get a little more lift, but not compromising on the ride i.t.o. hardness.

I did consider doing the full suspension, but the heavy duty rear suspension make the ride harder than it already is.

Any Advice?

I'm very happy with shackles I got from them.

But looking at where you are, probably easiest to order from a fitment centre near you, any LA Sport ? Safari cEntre or the like will be able to get for you

Do you get different length shackles for the rear. I would like a slight lift but not too much.

East Rand Spring Works . Deon 0832526264.
I got his details from Christo as well. He built a custom set of springs for my project Ranger. I am more than just satisfied . The 10 " lift and articulation turned out as planned.

Shackles are easy to make custom.. Most engineering shops will be more than happy to assist you.. If you are looking for "1 lift you extend the shackle length with "2's.. it is that simple.

The height works out to 50% of the extension because you are only lifting one side of the spring pack.
