    Rear spring shackles Mk2 Escort

    Hello,
    are there rear spring shackles for the Mk2 available which are higher/larger than normal?
    I want to raise the car at the back a bit without having to change the springs.
    Thnx, Leon.

    Thanks will have a look at those to see if they would be suitable for a Mk2.

    It was a popular mod back in the 70's with lads jacking the rear of Escort vans, it was n't unusual to see shackles the best part of a foot long.

    along with the axle painted red and a rear fog light pointing at it

    oh and it wasn't just escorts, it was quite common on mk2 cortinas and hillman hunters
