spare looks enormous on the hatch... good looking rig

[Tru2Chevy]

Nice man, looks well built. Do you have any further mods planned, or are you just gonna wheel it and fix as needed?

Rear flares?

- Justin

[B4C]

For now I'm going to wheel it as is to see how it works. The rear shackle angle is way off so I need to re-do that, and the p.o. never raised the track bar when he went to over the knuckle steering. I would like to Remove the flares, looks awkward with just fronts on it lol

[Tru2Chevy]

Does it have adjustable shackle boxes? Or is that the fix you are planning?

It does and they are welded on, but I wanted to redo the whole area because the welds look questionable. Wanted to plate the shackle boxes and weld in new relocation brackets. The shackle on there now is too short as well imo.

My buddies buddy makes awesome sliders boxes for those things. I have the universal ones waiting to go on my tubeframe.

I like that rig. Seems purpose built to still fit in the woods really well. Theres something about everyone with a non fullsize throwing fullsize axles under it that makes me :facepalm:

They were cut to cherokee width ;). I had those on my last xj, loved the ride and flex, hated that they gave me 3 in of lift and hung so low, they killed my departure angle and scraped, I knew someone who pinched His leafs in one coming off a rock and it stayed articulated. I may get the universal set and try to tuck them up higher, hell they rode so nice that I didn't even have rear shock absorbers.
