hey your limit strap isn't hooked up

[Kyle]

Looking good, i still cant believe how far this thing has come since the last time i saw it.

How do the sliders attach to the jeep, i am assuming it uses the stock shackle bolt and something else right?

Thanks Kyle

The sliders attach via the stock shackle bolt, as well as the strip of bolts the hitch/gas skid mount to

[Burton58]

and theyre in.

cant wait to get this jeep wheelin again with the new goods

yes this is a quote from over a year ago
what did you do with the brake lines on the caliper end here? flip em and grind it flat?

[HeavyMetal]

actually to be honest i ended up just leaving them and it never become a problem because my travel is limited before they wind themselves up

Hmmm these leaf sliders look pretty interesting, may have to look into getting a set along with some new leaf packs. My old RC 4.5" leafs are more like 3" these days lol.

Will, lets be cereal... really that huge of a difference with the sliders?

[HeavyMetal]

Well I am certainly not looking to be a snake oil salesman. The sliders eliminate the need for a shackle and the usual need to "relocate" them. Changing a "bushing" (UHMW) is retardedly easy and quick, not to mention dirt cheap and not proprietary. In addition there are a lot of "in theory" statements I have on these, but I am honestly not going to comment on how great they are until I actually use them for any amount of time. As of right now I have 1 very very mild wheeling run on them, and no speed testing. The ones I had on in Johnson Valley didnt have proper clearancing/height and the potential suffered as a result, albeit didnt perform poorly based on that.

However I will say if I didnt think there wasnt a gain to be had with them, I wouldnt have put them on my XJ (obviously). I will have a full report with all the goods as soon as I can on em.

Also realize that the moment i changed to sliders is also when I went from RE leafs to Deaver leafs, so there is a substantial change there as well that I need to sort out between the 2.

[Hydra]

Will, I can always trust you to gimme the skinny, I wish I could afford deavers...

Now my jeeps driveable I've been doing much thinking over things such as this

[King Ricer™]

So do these equal to stock shackle height? I'm looking to replace my old eBay shackles and these look like a good option. Also need to figure what shackles to run before I buy new leaf packs.
