Rear suspension has no droop
 
Re 3.5" springs extended shackles, relocation brackets shackle angle around 45 degrees shocks and brake lines are long enough no rear sway bar.
If you run a rear tire up something the rear flex is good. If you run a front tire up on something it doesn't take much to lift a rear tire.
Any ideas?

Get the front tire on something bigger?

krazynezz 05-01-2014 09:57 AM

It's it stuffing the rear tire up at all? How are your bump stops? Naturally the leaf springs are going to flex less than the coils

Shocks long enough? What length are they/what size lift are they for?

cherokee45 05-01-2014 10:18 AM

It stuffs the tire but it's not in the bump stops very hard. Like I said they work if it's the rear that's climbing and flexing but if the front climbs something it doesn't take much to lift the same side rear tire off the ground. It doesn't have much down travel

ohio95xj 05-01-2014 10:29 AM

What shocks are they?

cherokee45 05-01-2014 10:32 AM

Yes shocks and all brake lines and cables are long enough. Doesn't change if the shocks are disconnected either.

Bilstein 5100

ohio95xj 05-01-2014 10:40 AM

For what size lift? Or extended length?

ohio95xj 05-01-2014 10:41 AM

Also, do you have a picture?

cherokee45 05-01-2014 10:56 AM

Almost 26" extended. No pictures of the current setup

ohio95xj 05-01-2014 10:59 AM

My guess is you are maxing out your shocks.

cherokee45 05-01-2014 11:05 AM

Nope. If the shock is removed from the axle it still has 4-5" of travel after the axle has come off the ground. With the shocks hooked up or not the down travel is the same.

ohio95xj 05-01-2014 11:08 AM

Hmm, try to post a picture?

cherokee45 05-01-2014 11:13 AM

Can't. It's apart getting gears and lockers right now was hoping to take care of everything all at once instead of having to keep pulling things back apart
