Hey guys in new here i have a 1HZ straight 6 turbo landcruiser i try to get out in it a bit heres a pic.

Now im looking at getting some lager shackles for my leaf springs (that's why i circled that one) but i don't really know what will fit?

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]

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

Haha nah it ripped the bolt through the washer be cause i didnt extend the rods from boddy to sway bar one side was still on
but it was my bush bashing pig so i didnt care
and the rear neaver came with one but i have seen some 45 series and 60 series pics with rear sway bars but not Aus spec

oz spec fj62's have rear swaybars

before my old mans 100 series then 80 he had a fj62 and it didnt have one

 

[blurr1604]

without taking this thread off topic too much (sorry for hijacking) the two ive been under had them, oh well

 

[Clint79]

I guess swaybars rods need to be lengthened when extended shackles and shocks are put on
so it can all be put in the same boat
