    I've seen some extended shackles on a friends TLC, and them have always make me feel nervous. I just dont trust in bolts suporting the whole car weight

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    They certainly are. I'm not even sure you could get them engineered.
    If you paint them black and don't draw any unwanted attention to yourself then I don't think they would cause an issue.

    Edit: I was referring to aftermarket extended shackles above.
    You should never, ever run shackles that have been cut and welded to extend them.
