furst orf , before you ordered yer extended shackles did you check yer bushes?.
you'll probably find that you'll have to cut the old bolts out so i hope you got new ones.
if you try and undo the bolts be prepared to lose yer knuckles on atleast one hand

hi i haven't bought the shackles yet just the springs u bolts and the big bolts that go through the hangers i had seen a picture in one of the landrover mags that showed how good the articulation is just checkking if any other things need changed some one told me it could cause issues with the propshafts being at a different angle

not sure how high it will lift it this is my first landy its just when the springs are being changed i thought it might be ok to fit the longer shackles and possibly bigger tyres
