Military extended shackles

[Mustlust]

Well, tried to fit the axle straps today......and realised that with the military shackles and higher stance, the std axle straps prove to be about 3 to 4 cm too short for the holes to align.
Bugger! Are there other straps available??
The suspension was set up by previous owner who didn't finish the project. He has after market shocks, poly bushes, and original ex-army swb springs. The rig looks fine, sits higher than usual, but won't know how it drives for a while yet.

Rocky Mountain Products do longer shocks and straps to suit their parabolic springs, would probably suit the extended shackles?

Military series had longer straps. I dont have a length or a part number but the standard s2a parts book shows 4 lengths from std 88 to std 109, then 109 with env axle, 109 with 1 ton suspension, then s3 had 109 with salisbury axle as well but these aren't long enough for ex military 109 i've been told. If urs is an ex military 88, then maybe 109 with 1 ton suspension straps may be long enough. I have a pair of std 88 straps here i got in a job lot of parts i bought a long time ago but they are too short for a 109.

Four Wheel Drives in Hallam used to keep straps for Military Land Rovers with extended shackles.
