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

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.

I will have a lift height for everyone soon. The ones I had previously were probably equivalent to stock shackle height, these now are generating a small amount of lift. Either way I will have an answer for that soon when I am able to measure it out.

Do they have less bind than a shackle?

Where does a shackle bind? Going with sliders gives you more travel but as far as binding goes I don't see a size-able difference between a sliding motion and an arc from a shackle

Spent a day up at Claytons yesterday and pulled out the TNT arms. The RE joints/bushings were all cut off and replaced with rubber clevite bushings (axle end) and currie johnny joints (vehicle end). Also had two Clayton LCA mounts/skids put on (way better than the currie one/stock one i had on there before).

Zullo, being on the clock at the shop, did a lot of the legwork. thanks man

The Jeep drives off road and on better than it ever did as long as I have had it modded. I have been workin to this point for a long time... It doesnt make a single noise on the trail..just the air bumps hittin the pads and the ground under the tires, and it is all smooth as silk. Steering play is non existent after swappin in a new box and steering shaft. The final pieces of the puzzle after all the work done to it this off season, it feels like a damn factory jeep and the suspension finally shines now i think. Hoping it stays like this for at least a little bit. Haha.

And cuz everyone likes pics.

the cage tube was so tightly pushed through the holes made in the roof for it that it basically didnt even need anything. however i ran a bead of silicone around each entry point to be sure
