Title: Reverse shackle lift
Post by: sharper13 on October 16, 2006, 13:35:20

This may be a stupid post but what exactly is needed for a reverse shackle lift?

Is it as simple as fitting front shackles to the rear or is there more to it.

forgive me if i am being stupid but i am looking to settle an argument.

cheers

the front towers need to be extended and fixed like the rears are as standard with movable shackles fitted to the rear's

This is the sort of kit you'll need :)

You'll get a 2" lift too :)

im currently running a pro comp 2" lift i think 4 leafs up front with some sort of numbers on them, also polybushed, on when i brought the jeep.number is sprayed on in template form 61010ds . does anyone recognise, would i benefit with changing to reverse shackle, or going spoa.

Im asking as my brother has spoa and seems to clear where my shackles hit.

Easiest way is to park your sammy next to a series land and look at the way the front springs are attatched. The Landy is reverse shackled, the Suzuki is foreward shackled.

The reverse shackle is supposed to make the springs more compliant, get the big ass shackles away from the front where they stick into bankings etc, BUT, the physics of the thing make the car less stable under braking.......
