I've had a couple of suzukis with the front shackles reversed to the rear of the springs which does seem to work well. I've seen a YJ kit but it is worth changing? To be fair I haven't tried the jeep offroad yet but have seen photos of it in action.

offroad i dont realy see much advantage    [sure go ahead flame] where i do think it makes a vast improvement is on the road giving much better steering and road manners

if you do do it you will need a new propshaft as it moves the axle forward an inch

And also allows the axle to move back a more than a bit  and if the slip on the propshaft is not long enough it with smash your transfer case....

Also you may alter your steering geometry so things may wander or wear your tyres out. To get it right you may end up with retardedly long drop  extensions to the front of your chassis  to compensate for the shackle reversal......... In a nutshell bolt on kits are a compromise and should be avoided.....!

Haha, nice one Gray...

I did look into that on that YJ... but I felt it wasn't worth the hassle and these guys have added more to it.

Off road that Jeep is awesome, on road on stock muds it's pretty good.

Spend your money on Aussie Lockers and see you at next weeks punch hunt.... need a crew man..... haha... that will monket a few people up.

Cheers Maf....
