I have a 40 with 200mm extensions but made them for my bush truck. I also welded some angle iron just behind the front shackle to stop them from inverting. But you can find these on Ebay.com.au and would take a week to get from Brisbane.

On the front you definitely need anti inversion shackle stops, especially if you extend the shackles. I wouldn't recommend using longer shackles in the front unless you want even more vague steering.
