35s!

Battle

Looks good! How's the performance difference? Also, looks like you already need new 35s haha!

88whitecomanche

Thanks....lol
Braking sucks as I've experienced it with workhorse before might have to do disc brakes and see how that works...
But the 4.10s still pushes the 35s with ease...just a tap of the pedal and it still flies down the hwy...
Well I bought them used...I bought it from a guy who took them off his dually...
Got 6 for $260...I also upgraded my rims to 17"...tire size is 35x12.5x17
When I see the rims from up close I feel like I'm riding on 20s...weird feeling at first but I'll get over it...

So while I was vacation in chile a couple weeks ago I got an email front ruff stuff specialties
Saying I won the customer view monthly contest...they sent a tshirt/lots of stickers/a couple beer coozies and a 20% off discount!!! Pics!



Also finally got around to getting pics of the shackle relocation brackets from hd off-road engineering I picked up in May
I picked up both because I'm still trying to figure out if the rear of the xj is higher than the back or not...it's hard to find a flat surface to determine that...
There's times the rear is higher and at times the front is higher then the rear...smh


And the no lift shackle relocation brackets...

Swappednout motor mounts to rubber brown dogs,
Overall, the mounts swap were CAKE! Compared to my Comanche 4cyl brown dog mounts...


Old mounts

My RE boomerang shackles came in, waiting on the ironman4x4 nut strips to come in and it's on like donkey king for the no lift shackle relocation brackets

Can't go back now!







Final shackle angle


I'm not done, still gotta remove them then paint them and set up the gas tank skid with the rear hitch...
Overall, it's a pain cutting these boxes out, I'm exactly where I was before the srbs regarding lift, I was expecting to lose lift as my rear is about 2" higher than my front...
I have to get some smaller shackles but some other time maybe after Christmas...

Finally got a decent shot of the new set up, took off the rubicon express shackles and threw on some spare mj shackles I had laying around but I still gotta adjust the angle as it's less than 45 degreees..but I'll get to that another day...
4.5" in the front and 3.5" in the rear and 35s

Looking good man!! i thought the shackle curve had to be on the inside?

88whitecomanche

Thanks batman,
As far as the boomerang shackle, the curve is on the outside/rear part of the vehicle to get the correct degree angle to have a better ride quality and flexibility off-road...

ok, i got a pair of shackles that are supposed to be longer and ive been saving some cash to get new leaf springs in the back.

My question is that, thats the angle i want to see on my jeep shackle to leaf spring right?

Battle

Nice! That's my next major mod. I've got to follow suit. Was the install very hard? Seems straight forward.

Did ride quality improve? You need tonflex it out now!

88whitecomanche

Yes, 45 degrees is what you want to be perfect

Ride quality improved drastically!
The only issue I had was cutting out the boxes with the cutting wheel and getting the boxes in place with the nutstrips/hitch/gas tank skid I'd hate to have a fuel pump go out and do it all over again...
You know I haven't even had a chance to flex it, I'll see if I get some pics by the end of the week...

88whitecomanche

Haven't done much but gas and go...
But just got 35x12.5x17 ko2s
