Nice it is a lot cheaper to keep the shackles on but I have to get it engineered if I do the 4 in will I have to extend the break lines and drive shaft ?

1-2" Spring
2" Body

For peace of mind, i would extend the front brake lines. 4" is plenty. Even too long.

vn-vs wagon Commodore shocks in front
I ran hilux rear 2wd shocks in my rear/And others run hiace/must be similar.
Extend front bumps alittle to stop shock bottoming out. I didnt need to on mine, but others have. (unsure size mm)

Thats all you will need.

Wont need to extend shafts/with spacers unless your moving diffs forward and back.

Shackles on 2" springs will make it move less than a skateboard. (worse than stock from my setup, others may disagree :lol: )

If you still have the swaybar on, try and get it engineered without. Don't tell engineer that you removed it though. He will want it back on.

Another option is ruf, but takes abit of work to get right.
Alot of threads on commodore shocks and ruf if you search alittle.

bbm sell extended lines, but depending where you are if you have a brakeshop close, they will make some up. Mine were $70 for the 2.

Im in Kurrajong Heights. Used to be at the riff.
