I got some red ones off ebay.au for around $250
They didnt snap or break from any of my dune jumps id by them again if i got another 75
i found longer ones made the ride a little more comfy

It depends if how much you want to lift it. Generally it goes up half of what the shackle size is over what you have now. 2" long 1" lift and pay the extra and get grease able pins. The other thing is there illegal in Australia. The only thing i noticed it chops out the brushes faster in the front.

extended shackles illegal in australia?? dont think so......

if that is the case then they dont pick you up on it, hardly see any leaf sprung 4x4's going around with standard length shackles

It’s clearly stated in the rules mate... Ring an engineer and see if you find one that will pass them let me no please. It been stated heaps on all the forums too.

wow i stand corrected first time i have ever heard about that

Oh that sucks what about the legialty in NZ?
also Clint have you removed the sway bar in your truck?
Sure looks like it.

blurr1604 · 10-20-09, 10:49 PM

i would still put them on, ive had them on my car for the last year and have never had an issue, either have any of my mates, although it would help not to put brightly coloured ones like blue or red, so they dont stand out heaps
