Maximum Shackle without mods

[wpage]

Looking to get a little lift in the rear of my 06 H3. Whats the limit on shackle lift without getting into extras??

I have shackles and add-a-leaf. I had to fabricate a 2.5 inch stand-off for the bracket that holds the brake lines where they (2) come down and meet the hard lines that run to each end of the axle. I adjusted my JKS sway bar ends to be longer, and adjusted the anti-lock lines in the wheel wells so they wouldn't pull when fully flexed.

Got any pics of that?

Sewie -Nope. I'm headed to the Airport for a business trip to Colorado Springs... wish I was taking the H3. When I get back on Tuesday I will post up pix for ya....

Thanks.

So, for the time being I used a 3 inch stainless bolt, stainless sleeve, and a couple stainless washers to move the brake lines up. I have a piece of steel stock to fab a replacement bracket. But now I'm trying to see if I can order 2 stainless lines that are 3 inches longer than the stainless lines you (kinda) see on there. Trail Duty is supposed to be coming out with some different shock mounts that raise the bottom of the shock out of harms way... thinking about trying them before I decide to ditch Fox shocks. I know it's kind of "rigged" so flame away!!
