Sal die Nudge bar op 2002 GRX pas?
Indien wel stuur bietjie foto van hom vir my en hoefeel jy in gedagte het.

Baie dankie
Skuus dat ek nou eers terug kom. Die bumper/nudge bar is dieselfde as Ian se pa sin in hierdie thread:

Do you think an aftermarket leave pack will give better articulation?

Daai's 'n moeilike vraag. Ek dink sekeres sal. Maar dit gaan afhang van die load rating.

Dis die probleem met bakkies en artikulasie: vere wat sterk genoeg is om volvrag te dra, is ye dtyf om lekker te flex as die bakkie leeg is...

Peter, how does one extend the front shackles without loosing its function as an "anchor point" for the diff?
What will hold the diff from moving forward and backwards?

Michael, the attached pic is a swivel shackle designed to work in conjunction with revolver shackles.

It is over-complicated (unless Fanus wants to try revolver shackles, which I think may be an excellent option considering what he wants to achieve).

It gives a 2" lift, but braces against the chassis such that it can't pivot, thus retaining axle location duties.
