She looks great. I dont think my back would appreciate riding with you down a gravel road though
i see your thinking about long arms, but you might want to address your rear shackle angle also

yeah, i wanted to acheive max height with the shackles, to keep from trimming too much, but after seeing the limit to my down travel, i'm considering adjusting the rear shackles shorter...just don't want to put blocks in.....guess i gotta bring out that grinder for the wells...

I think that jeeps looks great in the pics on the 35's. How are those adjustable shackles on the trails ? Do they allow the rear wheels to drop down in a hole ? Or are they a fixed adjustable where you set the height and ride ? Love your project.........

havent had a chance to test it out on the good trails yet (was sping creek offroad park, but i recently heard they closed down), but just went to the local field to see what i could find, had the front sway bars connected to see how much the back flexed, still had more to go....but nowhere to go lol

shackles haven't had an issue yet, haven't lifted a tire, but haven't tried to hard (not any places i can flex at around here besides a truck loading dock......hrmmm, i think i'll disconnect the sways this weekend and see what it can do...may need to trim some fender first)
