Panda 4x4 leaf spring raising poll

[Liquid Knight]

As the title suggests I'm looking at raising the rear suspension of my Panda 4x4 to accommodate a set of more purposeful off road tyres.

Given the options available I have narrowed it down to two.

Blocks...

...or longer shackles.

What option is best for the Panda 4x4?

Feel free to vote and add to the conversation.

Why not both? More ground clearance the better, as long as the prop and other joints are able to accomodate the lift

Just how much ground clearance does 6x6 half tracked triple axle panda need?

Why not convert it to a hovercraft instead?

Edit

I vote both too

( but seeing as your poll will only allow one or 'tother it's shackles as it sounds sexier than "blocks")

Shackles can be home fabricated and blocks are cheap both would be overkill. I don't want to have lower the engine, gearbox and bits.

Still a donk Panda could be fun. ;-)
