from the factory 2wds sit an inch lower than 4wds so a 2wd set would better match your current lift. there's no way of knowing what condition used leafs will be in without looking at them. I've found perfectly good sets in the yards many a time. :D metric tons were rated for a tic over 2000 lbs (i.e. a ton).

unless you're looking for a challenging project or truly need the links (i.e. you're chopping off the bed behind the rear axle) then it seems to me a set of 2wd leafs from a junkyard should be all you need. car-part.com might be able to help you find some.

hopefully the product is still well made. I'm open to forgiveness for delays, we've all experienced that. but don't you dare rush my order and screw up the welds because you were in a hurry! :fs1:

neat! :D rollin' to the hospital in style!

been there, done that. won't do it again. I'm not saying it can't be done (because mine worked out pretty good in the end after a lot of "engineering"), but the wedges suck to work around and I'm just sick of dealing with old parts. next time it's going to be super duty axles or brand new JK axles. :D

nice! my family has a fraternal twin to your car, an 83 Z-28 HO. :D even has t-tops! :rock on: take extra good care of the intake ducts, they are not the easiest to come by. :(

at that, ladies and gentlemen, is why a strong tow point front and rear is HIGHLY advisable. :D recoveries are sometimes the best part of wheeling. :yes:

very nice! :D what's the story behind this pic?

neat! :thumbsup: plans?

the rear lines like to leak between the gas tank and frame. really hard to catch those. :(

so, what, the box was made in the USA? :hmm:

yup, the ad has been pulled. guess I should have gotten more photos.

I remember when all we had were a couple of grainy photos to go on. :yes: I guess it's really real for realz. you'd think they could have cleaned the engine bay and applied some black-renu to the flares. :dunno: wonder what the reserve is...

jealous!

what size tires do you have? what gear ratios?

use this opportunity to go with the dual brake booster :yes:

that sucks, man. I feel your pain. :(

there's no way I could ruin a clean MJ. :( just get what you need from the junkyards. :thumbsup:

the chevy extended shackles are far more common. you might be able to find a better deal.

google says they are 6.5".

the most common "lift" shackles for MJs are actually "drop" shackles for a fullsize chevy truck (chevy runs an inverted shackle so a longer one lowers their trucks). late 90s or 2000s chevy seems to be the one. try to get rubber bushings. :thumbsup: like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Silverado-Sierra-1-2-Drop-Leveling-Lowering-Shackles-Rubber-Bushing-/262704736676?fits=Make%3AChevrolet&hash=item3d2a6c29a4:g:Dh4AAOSwopRYi9Me&vxp=mtr

are they slightly longer than the stock ones?

do you have adjustable lower control arms?

yeah, moving puts everything into focus. :( I had to sell off a couple trucks and stash the bigger items in the shed at my grandma's house. (and no, she has no idea there are a couple engine blocks in there :D )
