Yea definately move the shackle bolts. And in the front you can redrill the hangers higher to drop it some, then torch off the excess brackets. Will make approach angle better too. Don't you have some sort of torch to cut spring plates with? 3/8" plate works good. And 2.5 x .25 wall square tubing make good spring plates. I think there're some d44 spring plates somewhere at my college station house.
I'm gonna see how much using the other holes on the shackle drops it, as for the perches for the rear, I'm just gonna use some square tube like Coop said and make it happen. I will eventually get the power steering and ram assisst, and right now I'm trying to hunt down the box and pump, but I'm really trying to make something happen so it could make the run on Sunday. I have plenty of more stuff to do before it's truly where I want it, but it'd be nice to make a small run.

Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
Thanks, here's what I'm running down/picking up this week. U-bolts, perches for the rear, spring plates, drag link, driveshafts, reinstall gas tank, extend brakelines, throttle return spring, muffler/exhaust hangers, and I NEED TIRES! That's just to make it for this weekend.

Everyone who plans on riding down to work Friday and Saturday, post a list here. The plan is to leave Friday after everyone gets out of class and get to work, drink, party. Saturday, wake up, work, drink, party, work, head back to C.S. that evening or night and have a good time. That way we'll be back in town for Sunday's trip. Please list your name and if you have Friday classes/what time you can leave. Thanks.

damn school field trip at 5 30 in the am saturday arrgggg.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Well, this weekend was productive, even without Danny (you suck), we got everything buttoned up except for the drag link, front shims, and rear driveshaft. Within the next two weeks it'll have all that done, a bad mother cage, and 36" Iroks. After that, it's only cosmetics, but hey, who needs a good paint job when it's just gonna get f'd. Coop has pics, I hope he'll post em'.

at the rate I've been scratching off the new paint it wouldn't matter anyway. We could paint it purple and it would be gone in 2 months.
Oh yeah, get your **** ready for gilmer in november
