Pinion angle, ride quality, tire pressure, homemade shackles :D

Thanks  . I've aired down to 24psi and things have gotten a little better. I just made a template of the shackle out of puck-board, so hopefully all is good with the design. I'm going to get 8 pieces made so I can do the front and rear.

I have MORE boom shackles front and rear.  They are VERY beefy and should only be about $100 / set.  In the rear booms kick the shackle out so it does not bind on the frame and in the front in you invert them so they look like a 7 from the side, they prevent shackle inversion and save your leafs.  Booms do not do anything to improve ride quality or anything.  If you want to improve ride quality on a YJ  you need good quality shocks and high-end springs like OME or Alcans.

Thanks for the info BlackYJ. I guess I'll be lookin at picking up some shocks in the near future. My shackles should be done by mid next week, hopefully they're a good addition!

This is what I came up with for a sketch with Microsoft Paint lol.

I can measure my MORE shackles when I get home tonight for you.  I would probably look at increasing the distance between the top and middle holes a bit because that is the portion that is going to hit the frame.

That'd be great, I'd appreciate it
