Hi there, nice looking truck you have!!!

Just to point out... I would get some other way of lifting the front other than shackles.
They will reduce your approach angles. I suggest you have a look at add-a-leaf springs...
They will give roughly the same lift but not get stuck into the floor :)
(Speaking from experience...)

Welcome to Suzuki Club UK as well :)

Yeah I'm looking to fit a 3" Calmini lift, with Rhino Rays revolving shackles.

Hmmm I'm not so keen on those shackles...
My mate has them on one of his zooks and they are friggin massive

You would have 8"+ of lift with that. You would need at least 33" tyres to keep it stable really.
My mates zook has around 10" of lift and 35" tyres and it feels very precarious to drive!

I'm also a bit worried about the strangle range of motion they give you're axles... I've been in Ray's orange SJ with the twister shackles... it's an interesting experience!
