I dont know the bj73 shackles.
You can get ones made for the mk / mq patrol - look for some that are designed to prevent spring inversion.

Give Snake Racing a buzz they do 2" extended.
remember if you only do rear you lift 1" if you do
front and rear you get 2" lift all around. Very well built BTW
I fitted them on the rear of my Troopy

My Troopy sat nose up due to lighter V8 chev, so fitted 2" extended in the rear to level how it looked.
Ideally I'd like a down hill slightly look but level worked out ok. Anti inversion BTW

I turned up a little gem of information...
Extended shackles are those that are CUT and made longer. I have seen a pair for sale on ebay, Not legal and in that case crappy work and should have been illegal.
but longer shackles are not prohibited.. So if you make longer shackles they are not extended.
