Body Uplift...

I always wanted to uplift the series land rover, especially during rainy season like now, it looks cool too. I have spare body lift shackle (anting) from one of my friend who no longer use it, so I wonder if it can replaced the standard shackle. I do not know what is the effect of lifting the body so I search from the internet and found out that :

Australian military is using a higher shackle on their fleet, but only on the 109 inch not on the 88 for the reason that it will hurt axle joint in longer term.

Knowing this information I confidently replace the standard shackle in Sotong (109 LWB) with the longer one here is the picts:



Gap using standard shackle (four fingers):


Here is after the Longer shackle.... it is now about 2.5 cm difference


And here is the shackle compare to the standard one


Parabolic spring will actually lift the body about 2.5cm as well, but the cost would be way way too expensive. Some one said that I need longer shock absorber to make it better ride... well, since I am not going to use it off road... I may not needed in the short term....All in all, it's good set up I think...

Cheers
