Superior drop shackles

i have been looking around the internet a bit and in the new 4wd action dvd the scout has them on the rear.

I have 1982 stiff as brick sh$t house hilux leafs allround. and I'm seriously considering this mod to mine.

does anyone know anything about them or have them on their truck?

sorry no info, but would also like to know more about installing drop shakles. what springs can i mate them with- standard height, ifs rears? are there any other mods i have to do like relocating the axle?

one thing I know is that they work better with softer springs, IFS rear leafs are good perhaps even better if you remove one or two load leafs from the pack prior to assembly, I have parabloics on the front and back of my 94' dual cab lux and removed the main load leaf from the rear pack so now each wheel is sprung by only 2 leaves, the rear feels more flexy so it may be time to look at drop shackles for better droop, may even just test some longer rear shackles, see how the flex first :thumb:
