jchio,

I took the liberty of grabbing your diagram.

First, where is the skidplate or a crossmember that you would be bolting the shackle too? (It wouldn't be above the output of the t-case would it?)

I modified your drawing.....

If the red dots are the bushings on the axle, I would think that you would want one above the axle, one below. (Like my pic)

I don't think that the angle of the shackle is really that important, obviously you wouldn't want it at 180*, but close to 90* would be good enough. I don't think that there would "ever" be a time that the top of the shackle would be pushed beyond 90* towards the front, maybe a little, but not much.

I probably just cornfused the issue, didn't I?

Go for it keith, its super easy to do :)

Couple energy suspension bushings, a piece of 5/16" channel and the custom leafs.

Ill have an article about the 3/4 soon in alloffroad... not tested yet, we just bolted the body back on
