Shackles are almost done. They were as challenging as expected. The jeep had a slight lean, so I made two shackles 5hat were 2" longer for the driver side to level things out a little. Eventually I may replace the springs, but I've been told that may not eliminate the lean, so for now it was just extended shackles.
 

I've decided against the lift kit for now as well. I've read to many disadvantages and I the new bushings seem to give me close to a 2" lift as it is.
