Jeep goes into the shop tomorrow morning, so I'm driving my sister's POS Ranger. It has some issues, and my BIL is either lazy, or criminally stupid. I thought my head was going to explode when I found out they were driving it around with the DS shackle and spring hanger rotted completely off the truck. I told them to fix it, in no uncertain terms. A year later, they have. I notice it's sitting a little funny, and stick my head underneath to see what his "fix" was.
He didn't want to spend the money on a shackle apparently, or has no idea how leaf springs work (his idea of maintenance is having someone else fix it, and stiffing them on the bill), so he bolted the spring directly to the shackle hanger. Just... wow.
So I'm wondering, with just a couple inches of lift, why the passenger side is so low. Surprise, no shackle there either.
I'm guessing it drives about as bad as it looks. Can't wait to pick my niece up after school; with any luck, we won't die.
