evening all, would a CJ shackle lift kit be the same as one for a YJ. ordered CJ but invoice says YJ, would appreciate an unbiased opinion.
cheers

Bubba · « **Reply #1 on:** February 13, 2008, 08:10:59 PM »

the rear springs on a cj are the same width as a yj but the front springs are narrower than a yj the yj is the same front and rear

cool, cheers Bubba, so i would need two at the back one size, and two at the front smaller in size? :oops:

im asking coz the 'kit' only has two identical components.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #3 on:** February 15, 2008, 09:18:44 PM »

come on people who know this stuff, help me, am i being to obvious or do i need something at each corner?

i hate arguing from the corner of stupidity :?:

Bubba · « **Reply #4 on:** February 16, 2008, 08:39:16 AM »

so, need some opinions, were you in my position, would you be happy to accept the arguement that when you sell a 'shackle lift kit', it would be obvious that you were only selling a rear lift? noting that there was only an ad for a CJ shackle lift.

please feel free to tell me if its fuckin obvious

muchos etc

who did you have it off dood?

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 20, 2008, 11:18:49 PM »

LA Supertrux

LA Supertrux know better than that - they build monster trucks for a living. If it was sold as a complete CJ shackle lift then it should have four shackles - two of each size.

Can you post the link to the auction you won?

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 21, 2008, 04:30:18 PM »

Afternoon all, link is below, as is the reply from them, i dont suppose the full refund will include original postage!

I dont undestand why anyone would assume its a set of four, But I will change the ebay page as you suggest as I am not into conning people.
Please return your parts and I will fully refund you if you are not happy for any reason.
regards Nigel

just received an email, a full refund includes postage, so fair enough!

tim_aka_tim · « **Reply #12 on:** February 21, 2008, 05:23:26 PM »

That auction definitely says to me that its a lift kit, which requires 4 shackes. If you wanted the "Dragster Look" kit, then 2 shackles would be fine. I've been stung with misrepresented stuff before off ebay and the seller claimed to be whiter than white. I don't use ebay anymore. Yes, you'll probably lose out on postage.

tim_aka_tim · « **Reply #13 on:** February 21, 2008, 05:25:53 PM »

Postage included - result!

If you still need shackles, maybe phatphux could muster some up for you.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2008, 06:49:52 PM »

lol, exactly what i said to him, i've got a 4x4, not a hot rod!

thanks for the tip, cheers.

and thanks for the opinions, at least i know im not going mad!!!

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 23, 2008, 09:56:31 AM »

morning gents, next question, seem to be two sorts of shackle lifts, one of a squared off design and the other rounded, any particular importance attached to either? the rounded ones appear to be more expensive and greasable, is that hugely important (im not expecting the cj to do more than 3k/year)?

secondly, who is/are phatphux?

as usual, cheers

Manda · « **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2008, 11:47:25 AM »

Phatphux is Greggmo and Bubba!

The rounded ends are simply to stop shackle edges digging in to things like squared ones would.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2008, 01:44:19 PM »

Cheers Manda, well Greggmo and Bubba (cant be calling you phatphux when im after something!), can you help? to be honest i seem to remember you offered before when i first joined birtys, but i cant remember where it was. I just want a 2" lift for short term until i have got the cash to do it properly. let me know. cheers

greggmo · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2008, 12:35:08 AM »

i can make ya a set but recon the postage would cost ya mate as they are heavy as a set.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 24, 2008, 12:30:19 PM »

cheers for the help, the two i sent back were £11 but they went recorded so i know he got them. taking into account your time etc, what coinage do you reckon we are looking at all in?
