Improve your shackle angle

[techno1154]

Your spring is bent on the drivers side right at the eye!!!(look at the pic below)
No wonder it sits lower on the drivers side.....Maybe after "cliffs" is when it got bent?

Those look like 'Berlin Eye' springs to me and not the normal springs that are OEM or OEM look-a-like. Look at the Ford F150 springs.

Yeah Dude, he's right look at your driver side pic and your passenger side pic and you can tell a BIG difference!

no its not the one is caked with dirt the other is clear they look identical to me and what about the front mount? is it mangled?

No, it definitely looks bent, right before the eye. They both have a slight bend to them for the eye, but the driver's side is got a much more pronounced bend to it.

He needs to clean the dirt(mud) off..
Also look at the shackles...One is ( / ) (driver side) the other is( l ) (passanger side)..It could be me ...

I'd Start with spraying off those leafs, and jumping on the bumper for a resettle. Checking torque on all fasteners.

its not bent trust me, they came like that new

I wish I have a forklift to bottom out the rear end of the jeep lol, jumping on it wont do anything. I'll need to take her on trails more

The springs are not bent. They are made that way.

The mud on the other one made the drivers side look bent....optical illusion.

Interested in these for my daily driver with some OME springs. Getting in for the good info.

I have plenty in stock ready to ship.

I got these but havent installed them yet due to the snow and cold weather we have here in ohio right now....I'm wondering how critical the welds are(trying to decide if I should weld them myself with my flux core buzz box or have a shop do it)I mean they are held on by bolts also so how good does the welding have to be???
I've built bumpers and rock rails before so......but nothing this thick so if my welder doesnt get full penetration will the universe explode???

 

[1990JEEPXJ]

in all honesty, i have not welded mine yet. just tightened the bolts tight. been that way for about 5 weeks. no problems yet, havent budged. but i do plan on welding them

i ordered mine on monday, just wondering if they have been shipped...if not i'd like to change where they are being shipped to

 

[BRIANHO13]

Yup went out today, would have gone out yesterday but the postman won't come when there is snow on the ground. You should have them by the weekend.

i'm currently running a 2" lift shackle, 2" block, and RE 3.5" springs...
i wanna get rid of the blocks so i'm going with the 2" lift shackle, an Rough Country 4" spring and your relocation bracket. If i set the angle at 30deg will my ride height be same as my original setup?

 

[BRIANHO13]

If you are going with new springs vs used springs I doubt you will need a block at first, but depending on how much they settle you might have to do some adjusting later on.

Ouch. Looks like someone pulled a little too hard with the hitch.

 

[Rammin97]

Ya, the other side is not quite as bad.. whatever they did, at least it was relatively straight when the hitch ripped off!!

 

[builder]

Wow,i would say try straightening everything that is bent up.then some stitch welding,then your probably going to have to weld the relocators on..good luck.

 

[Rammin97]

Thats pretty much what i was thinking too.. I may end up just building shackle boxes and incorporate extra bracing of some kind..
