Shackle angle and control arm angle. I see some long arms in your future, atleast maybe drop brackets. You know, just trying to spend your money for you.

BTW, your jeep looks great.

thanks..haha..i dont flex it much, sees more mud than anything so i dont think i need long arms. are you talking about the way the shackles leans backwards? why is that so bad? to much stress on the shackles? never heard anyone mention angles so ive never heard of that being a problem. sorry if thats a really stupid question..lol.

yeah they are bent at about a 45 degree angle and lengthen the wheel back into the middle of the wheel well.

and im gonna bumpstop it so i may not even need to trim with 33s. im not a huge fan of flex. shocking i know but im more of a mud type guy. dont need a whole lot of flex and when i do trails, i try and stay away from rocks. i know mud gets everywhere underneath but i havent had a problem yet muddin and i have yet to get stuck in the mud. my jeep seems to love it..haha.
