I built a bar similar to this one, but used a regular shackle at the front. It flexes good off-road and eliminated the axle wrap, but it rides terrible on the road. It stiffened up the ride too much when both back tires take a good bump at the same time. Would adjusting the angle of the shackle forward or backward help any? Right now it's 15 degrees or so backward of verticle, the top is tilted toward the rear axle. Any suggestions?

FYI, I'm using a stock YJ shackle and it's attached at the back of the stock skidplate and the wheelbase in the back has been streched 8".

the shackles should match the spring shackles angle or it will "pop"

That's about what I've decided to do. Just wondering if this is normal or what.

I built for my rig. I have two points on the axle, like in the pic. On the cross member I have one point. It has a 3" shackle, and is pointed streight up. I did my like this- http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/Anti_wrap_bar/antiwrapbar.htm

That is essentially what I built as well. Did you're on road ride get alot rougher too?

DO YOUR SHACKLES FOLLOW THE SAME ANGLE ?????? on the bar and the leaf springs ... sound to me as they dont so the bind everytime the meeet and you go over even bumps you need to extend it or move the mount so the move in the same plain welder beer rockonn

No, they aren't at the same angle. I don't think it's gonna be possible to get them that way. If I move the shackle end link any farther forward it's gonna hit the transfercase. I didn't realize they all had to be at the same angle, guess I'm screwed.

then move the other side you never scewed ... just brake out the welder and the hacck then drink a beer or beer beer :evilbat: you can fix it just rebuild it :evilbat:
