Hilux Max wrote:Extended shackles work best when matched with a longer leaf pack. So not fitted for height, but to benefit suspension droop if the shockers have enough open travel to make the most of it. So when fitted they are at 45 degrees or as close to it as possible. in which case ride comfort also increase, as the more vertical the shackle angle the harsher the ride as shock gets transmitted through the shackle to the chassis rather than the shackle helping the leaf work properly as it swings back.
When fitted to a standard spring pack, yes they give you some lift.
Hope that makes sense...and yeah, they are for offroad use only.

I've fitted the 2 inch extended shackles and in the future i am going to modify my standard leaf pack removing the second load leaf and swapping the top with a longer leaf to gain about 45 degree shackle angle as max has specified.. My question is when i add the longer leaf to the pack once the shackle angle is altered will it alter the 2 inches ive gained from the extended shackles?
Cheers skottie
