lol don't make it too soon, haha I still gotta replace my snapped front axle shaft and get an 8.8 rear, throw a new rad. in and find out what's making my front tires wear so badly.

Can't wait for those pics though

Ha I can stall them longer. I will pull there I.A.C...


Did you do an alignment lately?

if flex is what your after you should consider doing something different with your rear shackles. maybe relocation boxes? they dont droop much when they are already at 90 degrees.

kinda shows how they work but was just using lift to make them go up and down. gained 3in of droop. didnt gain any lift (good)

looks sweet man good job so far!

They are great for flex but come with there own issues

1. they dont make a set of lift shackles that i have found. most people that run aftermarket shackles also need/want the lift from them

2. the have a nasty tendencey to unload at weird times. most people that run them also run a limiting strap in the middle (pumkin) to keep them from completely unloading at the same time.

3. they are f ing expensive in my book

My friend did that on his xj and they turned out pretty nice so im more than likely going to end up trying to rig something up towards the end of summer. Are those pics from your jeep?

Thanks alot juggernaut

I just assumed those teraflex ones were lifted shackled good to know they are kinda expensive too

My jeep and my design and fabrication on the drop brackets. Or you can buy them for like $150.

My build page shows how i built them. I was guna have multi hole and they looked alot better before. but it didnt work out right so they got modified

Thunder_J

Definately going to check that out might have to steal your work

They still look good as is though I would be happy with that

posjeepxj

there are better out there but not to many that fit inside the factory shackle box. doesnt show how i bolted it but there are actually 5 bolts holdin it in.

When sealing a design do not directly copy, take the idea, improve it and make it your own <--------- how i built my whole jeep

Thunder_J

Hey man im slowly reading your whole build you are a great fabricator! Hopefully I can get to your level one day. Nice work from what I read so far.

I'll make sure to do a write up and give ya credit

posjeepxj

buy a 4in grinder and read a lot. rest is easy, any one can do it with basic tools.

Getting someone to try is the hard part, try and you will might impress yourself. Dont try and there is no chance of impressing yourself

wow. must be a good job to travel all that way. its only a hour and a half for me to get to pittsburgh but i dont like doing it in my XJ

offroadnut36

Yup, got one right after the lift. The new tires are wear the exact same way the old tires wore. I think it might be ball joints but I'm not sure. I'm gonna check next weekend.


PICSSSS!!!!!
