why are the 32's on the jeep and 35's on the ground?

and take the 15 minutes and flip your leaf around. it will drive like a crab on the street, increased chance of vibrations, it is hoopty as hell and the leaf is weaker that way

search on naxja for the shackle angle. There is a write up for a mount and also replacing leafs with ones from a dodge van, the leafs from the van are straight bolt in but they are 3 inches longer from the spring bolt to the rear shackle. It is my next mod cause the angle with lifts are just terrible.
