Series shackles - help please!!
Hightower:
Thanks all for your opinions.
I think I'm gonna go with the consensus and get standard shackles. It seems the most sensible way to go to start with.
Les Henson:
I had Military extended shackles and parabolics on my last 109. The shackles lift it about an inch and the springs about the same again, so I fitted Goodridge +2" hoses as well. I had 235/85/16 tyres and the set-up worked very well both on and off road.

Chris Putt:
One of the lads I work with has 1tonne shackles, and the HD (11 Leaf) springs on his, with 235/85/16 BF Muds on. Works well. With an 88 inch you need to watch the front prop on one of the X members.......
TechnoTurkey:
My ex military 109 had extended shackles on it and it made it sit quite a bit higher and was more pleasing to the eye in my book.
Off road wise, articulation was unaltered but it just kept the rear of the body a little further off the ground which helped in certain situations.
I'd whack em on personally and see what happens, any changle in suspension geometery will not be that massive.

The 109 comes with extended shackles as stock.
