Are the CJ's gonna be good for axel wrap as well? mud-magnet 03-22-2002, 01:25 PM thanks scott..........but i want rear yjs.........i snapped my rear springs so i'm going with yjs in the rear.........i have a second set of rears up front already and i like them there.......i want to put just the rear with yjs.......and keep the axle in its stock location......... and scott.......do you still have the sissor shackles from your rears up front??? PM me if you want to sell them..... -Mike.......anyone else have any info?......thanks...... Gozuki 03-22-2002, 02:24 PM Here is the front mount I made Gozuki 03-22-2002, 02:28 PM They are just 1/4 inch plates welded outside the stock spring hanger. Along with the missing links in the rear, the extra length of the spring is accomodated. mud-magnet 03-22-2002, 02:33 PM thanks alot.........did you need a shaft spacer........i'm guessing yes with the extra flex......... could i use it with the shackles layed back???? thanks -Mike Gozuki 03-22-2002, 02:38 PM I have Dana 44s front and rear, I used chebby blazer front drive shafts with 6" slip and 1310 joints (CV). Since the axles stays in the stock location, the only this to watch for is too much flex pulling the stock shaft apart...I don't have any experience in that area... Gozuki 03-22-2002, 02:39 PM What do you mean "shackles laid back"? mud-magnet 03-22-2002, 02:44 PM just long shackles..............no missing links..........justt from the stock spring hanger, then to the spring.......... -Mike mudlite 03-22-2002, 03:17 PM WHY NOT MOVE THE AXLE BACK? Its only an inch and a half! Ever little bit helps in wheelbase . But then things arn't that tough out on the east coast are they? LOL:flipoff2: Rockrat 03-22-2002, 03:20 PM Mike the shortcut to the pics are yjs on the rear and I still am using the shackles up front with the yj for now let me look in the garage I might have 1 more set i have been making them alot lately for guys in the club J-Dogg 03-22-2002, 05:56 PM Do a search for my YJ swap, there should be some decent pictures. My mounts look like Gozuki's. I just used a long shackle. billjohn 03-22-2002, 09:45 PM Originally posted by DemoMike Howabout it BillJohn, you've got CJ's all around, don't you?

Sorry, I only have them on the front axle... the rears are a custom stack of rear zook main leaves with a mix of zook and cj leafs. mud-magnet 03-23-2002, 07:37 AM ok, so i think i will go with yjs and move the axle about .5-.75" back, not too much, here we don't have much rocks, but lots of hills and mud, so inorder to not ge high centren on the top of hills you need a short w/b or big ass tires, and the cops are cutting down on people with tires over 35"s........... thanks for all the help........gotzukis pics helped alot...........so simple now........:D just need to find a set of springs......... next week or so i'll have a set......i hope...... l8r: -Mike | |
