well i would think it would be a case of cutting a section off the end, drilling both ends and then either put longer mounting bolts through or find some identical bolts to the ones you already have. theres probably someone on here thats done it

if not, dave jones at bits4vits sells a bolt on kit, link

As your chassis , front suspension are all lower than the body how is a 3" body lift gonna make much difference???

3" is too much for the steering relay, brake pipes and transfer lever... your better off going for a 2" and then larger tyres to actually gain some ground clearance

cheers guys bought a cheep 2" lift off ebay as i was told with the 3" i would need to extend brake lines etc..

its http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=120117095400&rd=1&rd=1

hopefully will get them fitted a.s.a.p well before sunday, desperate now for some tyres as lastnite me n the missus went play up newcastle and nearly got stuck 3/4 way up this pretty narrow/steep bank! was very scary coming back down in reverse sliding all over the place but oh well was fun and basically its shown me what suki is capable of so i dont look silly offroad!

Stuck a 2" lift on my samurai complete with 31x10.5 tyres on 8Jx15 wheels. I extended the brake hoses to be on the safe side. This lifts the vehicle more than sufficient, but remember with only a shackle lift this pushes the leaf spring down a bit whilst putting the body up, in other words you still have lots of bits sticking down which will get caught up. Although it looks the part and performs well offroad it drives like a set of spanners on a dinner tray on the road, although I plan to trailor mine when completed. Hope you get on ok.

my advice, steer well clear of shackle lifts.They mess up the handling and will eventually ruin the leaf springs. They also wreck the approach angle, you will find on steeper sections they dig in........mention the "dragons teeth effect" to mosy zook guys and they will know what you mean.....
