Hello,

Any update on the rear shackles? I would also like to have my rear shackles extended for 2"

mild steel ba yun mga nabibili na shackle na maraming butas? 350 daw 2 sets

right now gamit ko shackle (original) 4inc. long pag pinalitan ko ba yun ng 6inc. na lift ba sya ng 1 inc. or 2 inc.?

thanks

Kung 350 lang yan per pair, baka mas mahina pa sa mild steel.

Mahirap mag estimate ng bakal based on holes. More or less 1 inch gain on lift.

Ask afrasay kung ilan ang tinaas o binaba nung nagpalit sya ng shackles for his Samurai.

thanks mr president

tumawag akjo kay fredie yun din ginagamit nya yun maraming hole.

[afrasay]

hole to hole length divide by 2, yan ang effective gain sa height. pag masyadong mataas puwedeng lagyan ng extra screw sa center para hindi masyadong mag sway ang shacks.

one word of caution sa generic shackle with many hole. you should use a stopper for the bolts or else the bushings will get crushed just by tightening the bolts, which will lead to premature failure of the bushings.

pwede ko ba ipatabas and butasan ang molye to make 5 inc shacle, para both ends lang butas sabi nung mekaniko nababali daw molye kaya di pwede.

[afrasay]

tama si arb. yun ginamit namin ng screw hindi full thread. tama lang yun nut pag higpitan.

pwede kaya ironman na lang kabit ko halip na shackle? maging mas matalbog kaya?

ironman shocks or parang "add a leaf"?

if you are looking at changing your shocks and the main objective is to soften the ride (and your rig is leaf sprung), i would suggest go for fluid type of shocks. on my gen 1 pajero, i used rancho 9's on all fours. malambot sya.

if your adding a leaf, it'll most likely stiffen your ride a bit.

hope this helps.

x-wind,

so it's like rancho's "add a leaf". from what i know you will also get a lift by going for ironman's load plus. but as i said in my earlier post, it'll most likely stiffen your ride a bit.

if your objective is getting a suspension lift without the ride being more stiff, go for the longer shackles.

so ibig sabihin mas magnda shackle rather than load plus.
what i want lang naman is di mababa yun likod pag loaded yun likod ko.

x-wind,

extended shackles or load plus? - this will depend on the condition of your leaf spring. since your crosswind is relatively new, i would assume that your leaf springs are still in good condition. the choice i guess is yours to make.

extended shackles will definitely lift your rear. adding a leaf (or replacing the shortest spring) will increase your rig's load capacity...you'll be able to load more stuff at the back.

by the way I'm from BF Pque. how about you?

[kimpOy]

hindi naman nakaka lift ang load plus eh

[Ungas]

Additional capacity load lang ang maitutulong ng load-plus, add-a-leaf conversions. Wala nga itong lifting effect. Plus magiging matagtag yan.

pag naka shackle kaya matagtag din?

According to afrasay, mas malambot daw ang ride ng orig length shackles.
