    2-inch extended shackles - Castor Correction shims needed?

    Fellas, about to put 2" extended shackles on the MK, and I'm trying to figure if I need to worry about castor correction shims or not... Some people seem to say they are necessary, others seem to say only necessary for >2".

    Whats your thoughts?

    Pedders susspension told me no extra corrections where nessacary for a 2" lift.
    You can do it but nothing would be noticable.
    Just doing the coils and shocks on my 92 GQ was enough.

    I think the best thing to do is put the shackles in then go to someone like pedders and get them to check if your castor is ok, if it isnt put a castor wedge in.
