You'll want longer shocks, if
You'll want longer shocks, if you're leaving the shock mounts in the same place. Alternitavly move the shock mounts to put the shocks back to there corect 'at rest' length.
Any veiws expresed in this thread by me are purely from my own experience, and (sometimes) falible memory. Hope my comments help, but please don't take them as gospel.
doubts over shackle extension....
Do you know if I'll need to alter brake hoses or lengthen propshafts
Going to get the 4trak measured for shackles tomorrow night ( friday ) but now I'm not sure if I should get it done!!If the shackles get a 2 " extension, how much will it lift the body ??
shackle extnsion
if you get the shackles extended by 2 inch i.e from the chasis mount bolt to the spring eye bush , your overall lift will be 1 inch , basic guide is half the amount youve extended the shackle by , you will not need to extend your brake lines mate. i have had roughly 8 inches of lift and am still with original brake lines ...regards guy
