Howdy gang, how goes it?

Just a quick one if i may ponder all your well educated minds.....

I'm looking 2 give the old Betsy Cruiser (60 series) a small lift with extended shackles ( 4x4 INSURANCE said that they cover them ). Ive recently had my leaf springs reset ( therefore not looking 2 get lifted springs yet ) & not so keen on the lift blocks with all the add on adjustments that go along with it.

So, I was thinking some bigger shackles could b the way 2 go. But then I'm wondering what effect that that has on my KONI shocks? I've heard that there is a bigger chance that they may run out of play & top out more & possibly wreck them. Would a lift of a couple inches or so do that? How much scope would they have in upward travel?

Also, has anyone got any recomended shackles 2 use? They cant b 2 hard 2 get made up can they? might save the back pocket a bit?

alrighty, great forum guys, it's always educating 2 read all the great goss on this website.

cheers in advance
