I was wondering if it is worth putting in 1" or 2" lifted shackles when I do a SPOA on my samurai?  Where can i find some good greasable shackles with bushings?  Thanks again.

I personally would not do it, If you put rears up front you could add a little to the rear but the front will mess with your steering, and I don't like the tall perches either.

I definately don't like the way long shackles look, I was wondering if they would provide any sort of performance gains other than a bit more height?  I would still like to replace them with something that has a bit more beef and grease fittings too.

I like trail toughs bone shackles. You can get em like 3/4" longer wich is a good size. You wont notice any lift from them but that is a good thing.

   I have a 5 1/2 spring over and 1 inch lift shackles, I just put the shackles on, I noticed more articulation and a better smother ride. I got bone shackles and I have the greasable bolts and bushing all the way around that I havent put on yet . Hopefully this week or next I can get to that ..
