"G" or Comfort Shackle install + TEST - shown on a Mitsubishi L200

Empty pick-ups have a bouncy ride, some might say harsh !

So we were kindly recommended to look at G shackles or some call them comfort shackles.

They suggest that these offer a much smoother ride on or off road as the shackles allow free movement of the axle in a vertical manner and therefore providing a more cushioned comfortable ride.

The shackles are made from heavy duty steel with 3 points of articulation as opposed to 2 points for normal shackles.

Ours came from Aliexpress - there are a multitude to offerings ( and ebay etc) they are vehicle specific, so watch out - but the main issue we found is price - the same photo is everywhere but prices differ wildly for what looks the same thing - so be careful who you buy from.

Simple job, can be done on the driveway with basic tools.



We love off road - so join our adventures as we prepare our vehicles in the workshop and drive the tracks here in the stunning Algarve region of Portugal.

Dropping in the occasional "off piste" video when something tickles us, as we look at other vehicles, workshop products to give you tips and practical advice on maintaining your pride and joy !

We are not experts, a father & son team doing our best to show you both ways, the right and unfortunately for us, occasionally the wrong :)

Our new tools will get tested, with various products to save you time and money - again helping you select the right tool, fluid, oil, parts and much much more.

Our videos help you find the content you need, without endless searching - Igniti0n points you in the right direction, with brief snippets that will not detract from you viewing the full video from the real contributor - we are here to promote them, not ruin your enjoyment.

We will also drop in the occasional "off piste" video recommendation if one tickles us as we troll through the endless stream of content - or just banter between ourselves :)

If looking for a new car, electric car, motorbike or ICE car - we can help find the most informative and interesting reviews on youtube.

In our workshop section: we will also give you tips and practical advice on maintaining your pride and joy ! we test tools and various products to save you time and money - again helping you select the right tool, fluid, oil and much much more.
