just a tought on your shackles..... hope you don't plan to run them like this???

cuz that will go flying on the first pull

 

 

not sure i understand, its 1/4 plate bolted to frame and come through the bumper. do they look like tabs welded on?

there is still more to be added, side's and center brace and a hitch, may add another 1/4 plated to each side of the plate for the shackle just to beef it up more- side bracing

it's ok that they run trough ( didn't see that ) but very good idea to add another layer on each side to beef them up and make sure

that when you put them on that them to go all the way trough :cheers: good job keep working on it

 

PS: the wheels look great

I like the front leaf conversion. I am planning on doing a MJ with tons, V8 power, and front leaves to play in the mud with. I like the whole "KISS" concept with leaves over long arms.

 

Keep the updates coming! :cheers:
