I already did an F-ing search. I found Very little pics of the actual missing link set up in the rear. Would some people post some pics of there rear set up. And also some lengths of both shackles. Thanks.

did you try searching folding shackle? that might help.

i don't have measurements but here's the trail tough missing link rear with YJ springs.

here is another view of 671zuk's rig....
the shackles are from Trail Tough....and we made the rear spring hanger...:D
FZ;)

I used CJ front springs on the rear of my ol' Zuk, 4.5" longer than the Suzuki springs, so I made the top shackle (the one that sits horizontal on the frame) 4.5" from bolt center to bolt center. The bottom shackle was just a modified standard aftermarket shackle, IIRC ~4" bolt center to BC. :)

I think cherokee shackles have that Y shaped look that the top of the TT missing links has. So you would need to hook a regular shackle to the T shaped one and youd be good. I had some on my other samurai, front ones were ok but the rear seemed to want to unload on steep hill climbs.....Also I didnt like the front ones when I would jump my zuki....

i have terraflex hypershackles on my 416 front and rear,with rear springs in front.long shocks and brakelines,and home made long prop slip joints.the rears bolted right on,up front i moved the shackle mounts forward 3 inches. alas no red star:(

Thanks for the info. I have Cj springs in the rear and I built some 6 inch long shackles hoping they would work. But as soon as i bolted the rear and droped it on the wheels the shackles went straight out the back. So I think that I will build some Shackles 3.5 iches and 5 inches to center of the bolt holes. Thanks
