Ok, history is.....
93yj 2.5 manual. Bought it used in 98 with 31's and a shackle lift - open
diffs
Flexed like crazy and did good offroad but I earned the nickname 'bonzi
nick'... dirived from the techinique I used to overcome the open diffs.
Steering was a little funky and loose. Finally installed (the first for a
yj, I was test vehicle) ox locker in front diff and holy smokes the
difference it made... Eventually, springs sagged to much, started braking
shock mounts...
Bought a used lift from a club member... 4" springs, tc drop, disco's, 4?
degree wedgess for rear axle, tossed the rear track bar, and adjustable
rancho shocks. Left my shackle lift on it also. No vibration issues and
relocated my brake lines.
The lift is sweet! It rides great on and offroad. Doesn't flex as much as
I would like. In the future I would like to take out one of the new springs
in each pack and throw in a spring from my old sagging springs. Does damn
good offroad, especially with the new lift and the ox locker.
(1 month ago) Remember my posts about the no-slip in the rear???
Got it in so now I'm locked front and rear. I just aim my jeep and go....
I've never broken anything but rear shock mounts, despite beating the crap
out of it. I think d.c. was having a good production day when mine came off
the line.
Now, I know all the issues concerning my setup (it still works damn
well..damn well...) Here's my plans if the $$$ comes
1. new steering box.... badly needed at this point
2. cv rear drive shaft and raise the tc back up
3. terelow
4. go spring over
5. a new engine is gonna be needed soon
My point for the person asking about the shackles is that I've had them on
since 98 and the issues I've had were some wandering, (which I think the
majority is the seriously warn steering box) and also before I got lifted I
would jam the shackles into rocks, treestumps etc... not a concern if it's a
street jeep.
The majority of drive time, the shackles have been of no concern.
