Re: **** isnt the only one with a jeep

Are you planning on driving this much? Have you considered the driving characteristics that having a front mounted shackle are going to bring into the game?

Most people complain that front shackled Jeeps are always all over the road and drive like doo doo.

Although most people dont seem to have a problem with the front shackles when doing the leaf conversion, im prepared to build a trackbar if necessary. It seems that people have problems/complaints about both front and rear shackles, so neither is really a clear choice.

if you mean the slip yoke for the rear driveshaft, mine is a 97 so there is no risk of it popping out and dumping all the fluid from the case. Anyway, ditching the slip yoke is pretty much a given with this much llift.
