Any one got a pair to fit a 95 seirra standard,
i need a bit more height with standard shocks, looking for clean extend shackels whats the biggest i could put on?

PM fatzook, he sell extended ones...

Don't do it, you only get 50% of the extension you buy.

bets by far is a spring lift.

if you want to keep your standard shocks, forget any suspension lift. Save up and get new shocks and springs.

I have PM'd you.

If you have standard suspension, then perhaps you should get 2" lifted springs with shocks to suit before extended shackles. They really do work better when used with longer springs than the standard ones.

But if you are ONLY after lift, then shackles will give you a little bit.

It is my opinion than any shackle that is longer than 50mm over standard length is going to alter your steering geometry far too much to be acceptable for road use.

It would change the front axle caster. Coilies and Jimny suffer from this when lifted more than 50mm. Caster adjustment bushes are fitted to bring it back as close as possible to stock.

A 50mm shackle will give a 25mm lift and therefore still at a bearable caster. Wedges placed between the spring pack and perch have been used in the past to correct the caster. I don't know the legalities of this.

Leaving the axle at the new angle will cause the steering to not return-to-centre after cornering and will prematurely wear the outer edge of your tyres. Like others have said save up and buy the springs and shocks.
