After trying to understand some things about recovery equipment I found this video and felt it was information. So I figured I should share it. I found the part about D-rings and eyelets useful. If I ever need to pull a small car out of the snow (on flat ground with minimal resistance) I'll...

Hi Guys, I've been lurking for a long, long time and finally built up the courage to introduce myself and also ask for some help. My 1975 Dj-5D shackles bang into the rear bumper when ever I drive over a large bump. The PO decided to swap the springs and installed a Pro comp 2.5" lift. While...

Anyone know of a machine shop or somebody that custom fabs shackle mounts? I'm looking for something like this

Hey all, Been doing tons of reading on here about the proper hardware to use on my lift install and have come up with a slew of different answers and opinions. I need to know the bolt size, partially threaded, or fully threaded for: LCA, both sides(top/bottom) if different rear leafs, both...

I ordered a new rear shackle hanger off ebay the other day to replace a broken one (see picture below). After having trouble with the install, I stopped and compared the old and new hangers. It turns out the old hanger is 2 7/16" wide while the new hanger is 2 5/8". With the bushings in the new...

I bought a CJ-8 that has extended shackles to provide lift for 32" tires. The PO really did a bad job (in my opinion) by moving from the standard 3" shackle to a 6 1/4" shackle (I think leaf springs are not stock, but I'm not sure). So it drives REALLY bad at 55 MPH or over. Unless the road...

Hey, im some what new to the jeep world and the automotive world. me and my father (not new to the auto world, but new to jeeps) have done a lot to my YJ due to the fact that it was beat on so hard by its previous owner it barely drove, i have it running great and now im thinking about getting...

I am about to get a 2.5 inch RC lift for my 89 YJ and I was wondering what would be the best option for shackles. I dont want a stock height shackle but nothing with a crazy lift either. also what are people's experiences with the total lift gained from the 2.5 kit as I have read some people saw...

i am wanting to level my cj7 out. the front is about 2 inches lower from center fender than the rear center fender. I was thinking about doing the 1.75 front (rough country) shackles. issue is i read in another forum that the stock shackle is 4 in from hole center to hole center. I just...

So, I got my 4" BDS lift in today and I was excited to get it put on. I started with the front and managed to finally get the old springs off and started with the new spring install as well as ss braided brake hoses and sway bar disconnects. I got the front springs installed only to find that...

I just picked up a 1985 CJ7 and have a question about the shackles. The shackles that are currently installed don't appear to be stock. They are a welded "H" style rather than the two piece plate design. Bolt hole center to center demension is 5-3/4". What are the stock shackle demensions...

Could use some advice here. I have an 85 CJ7 with a rather new 4" spring lift kit and 33" tires. The previous owner added it and I have no idea what brand or specs for the kit. All I know is it sits a little too high and it rides like a go cart, really, it feels like it has no springs at all...
