Yup, shackles came on jeep when i got it, disconnected the swaybar when on trails in Johnson valley, forgot to reconnect it, never noticed when on road. removed it the next day, haven't missed it yet.

The shackle angle is a little steep because of the long shackles, when i get around to it I am moving the frame mounts for the leafs an inch closer to shackle side to fix the angle. With the mods i made to the rear axle mounting when i put the d44 in, the wheelbase will be 99" after the leaf hanger move.

I think I may know someone with an SUA D44 out of a MANCHE! If you're wanting to go that route. I know a spring over is a lot of lift for a YJ though.

Already have a d44 out of a cherokee in the rear, cut off the old perches, made perches with offset pin holes, used square ubolts and made braket on top of axle to have ubolts facing up. Kept the stock carrier in the rear and used 4.10 rubi thick gears.

The next big mod on the jeep will be d60's, a trailer, and no more street, but that is a couple years off. haha...

Some little stuff needs to get done but, can take time with those, needs a winch, more rock lights, tj d30 shafts, steering beef(stock is almost done), and the leaf spring hanger move.

It is probably as close as possible to done as a jeep can get for a short period of time.
