Hey Fellas.
Recently i installed Ironman rear springs and wound the torsion bars up to suit. I adjusted the front torsions so that all four corners had the same distance from the rim base to the guard.
I am currently about 8mm off the bumpstops at the front with the torsions and now after 3 months, the rear springs have dropped 20mm as they have bedded in.
I really don't want to drop the front down to suit the back.
I have a set of Ironman greasable shackles to go on and i am considering using the shackle's pins (as they screw in on one side) in a longer piece of 8mm bar to get the rear back up to where it should be. I am a fitter by trade and the manufacturing would be fairly simple.
Can someone please tell me how much longer the shackle would have to be compared to stock to achieve 20mm to 30mm extra height?
I am guessing around 40-50mm but its just a guess.
