The Great Shackle Reversal Debate

[Mace]

sounds like an idea, i need to figure out a good way to do that, Synthetic wont mind pulling around an outside radius of tube will it?

down to the axle, trough a Pulley, then back up to a point above the axle. (need to build a cross member between the motor mounts, under the oil pan)

Perfect..

I just like to modify what is already their and the test it. I like the SR so I have a solid point on the front to bump into things with. I swapped the springs around to push the front axle forward to improve the approach angle. I could move the front axle forward another 1" since the perches have three positions but I haven't decided if I should do that yet.

Being SOA with lockers and 36" Super Swampers, I was not so concerned about improved road handling. The biggest improvement in road handling came from the 4x4 labs steering. What a difference that made! No more bump steer from the stock setup and the tie rod is up and behind the axle so its out of the way from the same thing I bumped my spring mounts into.
