    Guys

    I'm looking for a good machine shop somewhere near marikina or QC. I'll have my rear shackles duplicated. Gusto ko sana i-lift ang rear end ng pick-up ko ng mga 1". Nung ni-lift ko ksi yung front hindi na halos nahabol ang rear so parang pantay na ang ground clearance ng both ends. Some recommendations of a good shop who can do this please..?? Yung rear shackles kasi ng L200 y shaped eh unlike the common straight ones.

    Thanks in advance :confused:

    Pabili ka na lang kay kimpOy. Diba pareho naman ng shape ang shackle ng Strada at L200?

    make sure to make the new shackles longer by 2" than stock to acheive 1" lift.

    ARB,
    Thanks for the exact measurement. Would you know a shop that can do this for me? I'm from Marikina.

    Otep,
    Nakausap ko na si Kimpoy regarding this. The problem is, we seldom see each other.

    Kimps,
    Please inform me kung maliligaw ka dun sa shop na pinagpagawaan mo. If ever, could you let them fabricate another pair for a 1in lift? Thanks

    Layo din kasi ni Kuya Ferdie. Pero I texted him na this morning to inquire. When you say machine shop, what am I looking for ba? Basta metal shop or stainless shop? Hindi ko magets eh.

    I also have this fear na baka napuputol ang mga fabricated shackles. Is there a type of metal that I should use? Sabi nila stainless daw gamitin ko...

    Pls advise

    Alfred,
    Sir, iba kasi ang shackles ng L200. Hindi straight type tulad ng sa mga isuzus and suzukis

    Malambot ang stainless steel, if you really want a good to last for a lifetime shackle, specify them to use tool steel. Kaya lang malutong itong. Which may not last long if frequently jarred and bumped.

    Thanks Ungas for the tip. By the way, ano ba ang gamit sa stock/factory shackles ng mga sasakyan? Tool steel ba?

    I'm engaged in metal fabrication specially stainless steel... , commonly used stainless steel type 304 ay matigas compared to mild steel.

    Excellent material but expensive ang stainless compared to mild steel, practical to use mild steel for shackles.
