Here is a pic of mine with 2" lift shackles made by kevp. I fitted the shackles then wound the front torsion bars to match. Kev p also supplied a bracket to alter the position of the ride height sensor for the ARC system so this is aldo something to consider.

Hi thanks for that! So Kev still makes the shackles?

you can pick them up on ebay for cheap if you just look a little.

you can also get 4" lift leaf spring from summit racing for around $130 a side like my son did. you will also have to buy the leaf spring bushing for them also for less than $20.

Yes thank you it's a little expensive to import large heavy items from the states to the little island over the pond

You should still be able to find shackles on eBay in the UK. As for leads sorry, I didn't see anything in post saying UK forum. Still think you may be able to find superlift leads in UK, but then again maybe not.

It's early days but it really sorbet look like there are anything listed other than import for the states unless you want to pay ford for the ones made of cheese!!
