Ok duranged......that is a sick ride !!!!
Have any more pics of underneith and of the front as well ??
What shocks did you use, were they just the standard stock ?????.....
And did you only use the rear Shackle adjustment, or did you use b/l as well ??????
Also your rear axle is above the leaf springs as well as mine, and mtndewnut has his below the springs ??????

His is a t/s and b/l. You can see the 3in lift spacers right under the corners of his back gate.

Mtndew runs a tc 5.5 with all of the above, the tc kit is a rear SOA and the front is just junk drop hangers

I didnt run ext shackles when i swapped my leafs (due to snapping abuse 1rst pics) because it would of lifted past my budget( Tires looked to small 2nd set Pics) and i ran extended shocks due to the way i set up.

It was always a challenge vs wrangs due to weight and size but never a power issue. JGC on the other hand were fun to play with unless locked f&r

The older style MTR's were A+ in every situation other than noise after awhile. I ended up dropping them in turn for some Hankook which now i'd take over the MTRs

I got some duratracs and I love em', only down side is ice (which I would still rate a 7/10) but that is why they are pinned for studs. They even impressed my dad, which is pretty hard to do. So what does SOA stand for, sorry I'm a newb when it comes to suspension acronyms.
