can you find out trev.seeing as you are the panda guru.i was going to suggest he fabs up some brackets and welds them lower down the chassis then re bolts the suspension back up to it.that way it will give an instant sus lift,do you catch my drift???

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

I've asked the question - now to wait for an answer

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

It's reply time -

They have leaf springs. I can't see why the shackles or spacers idea wouldn't work except it may mess the prop angles up?

[gwh200]

Then if he has a spring and shackle lift, and he doesn't want the extreme uj angles, can he source uj's with longer yokes.... For extreme angles.

[surfenstein]

there you go the answer is extended spring shackles and fab up some drop brackets for the bottom of the shocks.as for the u/js fab up some 20mm spacers and fit them between the diff pinion and shaft.
