Extended shackles problem?
Posted: Wed, 22 Aug 2012 7:55 +0000
Hi,
Not sure if I got an issue or not but, I installed 2" extended shackles on my 2006 hilux cab chasis with alloy tray.
I undone the original shackles and noticed it didn't actually drop the sprins down at all, I checked that brake lines werent hooked up or anything. so I pulled the leafs down by hand and fitted the extended ones anyway, however once all put back together and then lowered back down, I realized that it didn't really lift it...
I'm also still running standard shocks. I jacked the rear up to check if shocks were at full extension and the chasis still raised up 3"+... Is it possible the standard shocks are limiting travel at all?
Did I miss something?
