[QUOTE="zukkev, post: 1456107, member: 17121"] Decided to make up a set of shorter shackles from 1/2" flat stock, and picked up new hardware for mounting them. Also plated the top/bottom of the frame, tying everything together while cleaning up the look at the same time... One other thing I had to address was the right spring perch was welded on crooked, so I cut the not so good welds on one side of the perch (no surprise there), and the damn thing nearly fell of in my hand, so I just popped it off the tube. Cleaned up the tube, re-welded the perch in the proper location, and beefed the perches up a bit...Decided after that incident, I better grind the other side and reweld/beef it up it as well.... Mucho betta all the way around! :awesomework: With all said and done, sits approx 1.5" lower out back now....:awesomework: might need to add a couple XJ leaves to help compensate for trail gear being loaded in back, but we'll see....I like the nearly level stance as it sits!:cool: [/QUOTE]
