thanks for sharing your experience Peter .. did you have aan opinion about OME Shocks . ?

As a former vendor of suspensions, I know somewhat of which I speak. Not to mention, riding in my trucks are like sitting on a cloud, suspended in whipped cream, on a bed of angel feathers, floating in an ocean of virgin's tears.

Let me guess, you're in advertising now instead

Hi

I have just changed the standard shocks and springs to a really good Austrailan brand called "Mad Dog Suspension". This has given me a 2 inch lift. I also have leaf spring extensions to raise it a furthur 2 inches. I am having a bit of trouble with the fitting of the leaf spring extensions, and was asking if anyone else has done this to their truck?

 

[crushers]

leaf extentions as in longer shackels?

 

[Entaran]

Shackles I guess.

The only way to extend a leaf would be to weld it.

 

[crushers]

the 4" longer shackels will make for incorrect caster unless caster shims in to fix the wander.
i would have suggested 2" blocks inbetween the solid mount and the frame and 2" longer shackles and this will eliminate the problem and give you actually better articulation...
best of luck with your rig
cheers

I couldnt find anyone selling Mad Dog,is that meant to be Tough Dog

Do you have those shackles that unfold,the proper name escapes me right now?
