I didn't say it was a bad place in general, just not the perfect location for the exact springs and shackles he is running ;)

Actually, he did a much better job boxing them in and supporting the hangers than I did ;)
 
Okay here I took a quick couple pictures. They sit about flush with the rear cross member/bumper. Didn't really lose that much clearance.

Those are some mighty skinny shackles for the length..

You might think about a bit more metal there :)
 
Hmmm..

Im Slaping FJ60 rears on my rig right now too.. already made hangers, but need to fab up some shackle hangers and make or buy some shackles..

i was thinking of using some 1.5 Sch 40 Tube.. seems like the OD of the FJ60 bushing..
 
update:
bought these shackles from andre/dieslecruiserhead 6" eye to eye
this may be what i was after, my pinion angle changed quite a bit but i can change that easy enough.

compared to my first pics i gained a few inches of body clearance
top of tire to fender is now 6 inches :)

comments please on function :D
