Re: do you think I've knackered it?

Re: lift shackles
Will rear springs on the front need any mods to fit? Mine is a van so i assume the springs i have are beefed up a bit to cope with extra loads. Will rascal springs bolt straight on also?

lift shackles
After an awesome weekend I realise I need to get some lift! I know this has probably been asked before but as I only want a small lift is the best way just to bolt on 2 inch lift shackles? I assume no other mods are needed. I am running standard springs and I only use sj for offroading only.
