    Looking for 109 extended shackles for some lift

    Where can I find 109 extended shackles to give my 88 some lift?

    Have you checked the Rovers North catalogue???? Last time I looked you could still buy them new.

    You know that extended shackles will only provide a one inch lift unless you have the longer chassis welded front shackle mounts. And that you need to add 6 degree wedges between the front spring & axle assembly purchase to keep the king pin angle in spec. The do a professional front end alignment afterwards.

    Your rear propshaft is really short so you may find that you have U joint binding at full downward articulation. You may need to have new wide angle yolks added to your propshafts. You may or may not have binding but don't be surprised if you do. That rear 88 propshaft is mighty short.
