i had noticed this a while ago and just haven't gotton around to asking the question. But in the picture you can tell that my rear shackles are nearly vertical 0 degree angle. Which isn't right. I always thought they were supposed to be at 20-30 degree angle. Isn't this stoping the rear suspension from flexing to its fullist? And whats the easiest way to fix this?
Stops it from drooping as much. Move the upper spring hanger forward just like yall did on the scout, wanker.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
f*ck that then, i thought maybe slightly longer shackles would get it to lean more. Its not worth it if i'm going to be doing everything over for the soa and 2.5" leafs soon anyway. I'll just wheel it at clayton as is.
dont listen to sharpe.
its the lift springs. get stock springs and SOA it. the shackles will be correct when you do and it will flex and ride better. especially with a reverse shackle.
2.5" leafs and SOA will be TOO tall

you could swap front and rear springs and shackle hangers to fix it, it would move the shackle back around 2" on each end
if you want a hard top and doors to fix the shackle angle, I have them for sale
...
no, 2.5" wide not lift. i'm going to use cj7 rears on all 4 corners.
i got the poison spyder cage in today, and spent about 2 hours getting the stock roll bar out, i ended up being able to get only 1 out of 12 bolt out without the torx head stripping, and i welded on nuts for the others.

yah the floor will be sandwiched and supported to the frame on the front bar near the windshield and behind the passangers but not in the extreme rear. Its not that hard to replace this, i'm already done with the worst spot behind the driver. So i should be done with rust repair by noon tomorrow.
i finished the worst spot the one behind the drivers seat. . .
heres the metal cut out
and heres it almost done, i just need to grind it down, and herculine it to match.
