The shackles are stock but the bolts aren't.
Both sway bars have been removed.
my stock coils have 9

those "spacers" are either the clamps or anti-friction pads.

and that cage is HIDEOUS and poory designed (duh) please remove it and start over. i would feel safer with no cage than that thing

The antifriction pads are thinner, there is something stucked in between the last and the second-last too, the clamps go around.

the stabilizer is a rancho

i think those are friction pads bc they have a little rasied area that sits in the hole at the end of each leaf

some one "hacked" off the sway bars instead of actually unbolting them

if i would have built the cage myself i would have done it a lot differently for sure. but i'm more worried about getting it running and driving properly.

i might not mess with it bc the trail riding that i do the cage should be more than capable incase of a light roll over.

cage, I would be more concerned about it breaking up and becoming implements of impalement.
