Couple pics after moving the rear axle about 4-5" forward and with the new spring pack and front/rear hangers i made up over the last two days. Spring pack i made up with the top 3 toy rears then 3 leafs from a xj rear pack cut down to fit, then the bottom over-load from the toy pack cut down to act as a lift block. Should give me lots more droop yet still give me some compression where the over-load is bascily gone. I also going to run the pack backwards making the short end at the rear and long end in the front for a wicked departure angle. Left and right shackle angles ;D I wanted to set the new shackle hangers to give me a laid back angle. It couldn't have came out better.........mmmm droooooop Just so you know i'm cutting the frame flush with the rear of that rear shackle hanger so it'll be that much shorter then before. Tomorrow i have to mount my new shocks, change up my flat deck a bit for when i cut my frame, mount/hook up my gas tank then drop my drive shaft off to get shortend.

oh yeah - your leafs they will be easier to axlewrap with the long side towards the front. consider a traction bar. be careful first time out in case it's softer than you think, you could wreck the rear driveshaft or yoke if it wraps up too much. not saying it will, but to watch for it.
