Hi all.
Would anyone know what is the difference in length of the rear shackles on a Series 3 LWB and a SWB. Also, will the SWB Shackles suit a LWB.
Regards.
Chris.
 
The LWB shackles are approx 1/2" longer than the SWB ones. Fitting SWB shackles on a LWB chassis may reduce the suspension travel.
 
Thanks. I am trying to lower the rear of a 109 FFR by about 2" after fitting Parabolic Springs all round. 2 Leafs on both Front and Rear. Kept original Shocks. I have already replaced all the Extended Skackles for standard ones with little change. Thought SWB on Rear might do the trick. Still plenty of room to put shorter shackles.
 
About 2 years. Have heavily loaded it with bricks and drove it for about a week like that. Made no difference.
 
Not sure, would imagine that the springs would compensate by pressing the shackles towards the rear thus lowering the height.
