[QUOTE="section525, post: 942906, member: 17299"] Your build is pretty similar to mine. Brings back a lot of memories! :cheer: I fought with the rear shackle hanger too. My first attempt was this deisgn which utilized a bushing from Mad4WD. [IMG]http://www.section525.com/nww/hangers1.jpg[/IMG] They would have been gusted on the sides as well. But on my Explorer the frame was angled far enough to really twist the shackle once they were tacked into place and mounted to the leaf. So I axed that setup. Here is what I went with. I made a hanger similar to the front leaf one and mounted it across the frame (making sure there was enough driveshaft clearance at stuff). Then I built these shackles using the same Mad4WD bushings. Worked out great. [IMG]http://www.section525.com/nww/shackles1.jpg[/IMG] But I really dig the ballistic fab axle-side shock mounts you're using. I'm going to convert over to those I think. I'm using the stock Waggy ones and they're not SOA-friendly and I bent the passenger side shock rod against the u-bolt plate. :looser: [IMG]http://www.section525.com/nww/shock1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
