Hi all!  I am currently doing a yj spring swap on an 87 tintop sammi.  yj's front and back.  I have found a template for boomerang shackles for the front as well as the relocating brackets.  Has anyone else used these boomerang shackles and how did you like them?  Anyone have pics of them installed.  Thanks

where did u find the templates at im looking at the same swap

Found them on Zuharrie.com  But I have run into a problem.  Back end turned out fine.  Gave me 7 inches of lift with springover.  When I put the front together, the boomerang shackles want to fold up so there is no room for movement.  I am running yj's front and back and have also put the relocating bracket on the front.  Don't know what I have done wrong.  Put them on like the pics I have seen on here, but they rotate up so the spring is hitting the shackle and no room for movement.  Any advice from anyone?  Norm

Perhaps I need a frame extension or bracket of some kind?  Anyone have pics of their yj setup with boomerang shackles on the front? 

Do you mean the boomerang shackles or the revolving shackles similar to the Missing Link kit that Trail Tough sells?

I mean boomerang shackles.  After talking to Brent at trailtough, I realize I was on the wrong track.  Just ordered his front yj missing link set up.  Great to talk to and great information.  Thanks.

That made things easy. 

A buddy runs the YJ springs with Missing Links.  If your planning on doing a lot of trail's you will want to look into a traction bar in the rear.  Otherwise you risk s-curving your rear springs.

More of a daily driver/toy and some hunting the backroads in the fall.  No extreme wheeling.  Currently driving a 88.5 soft top with regular spoa, and decided to do a tintop with a smoother ride etc.  Going to swap in a 2.5 nissan diesel and 5 speed.  Finally at a stage in life where i can afford to have a toy for myself to drive besides the family vehicle.  then work on my lj 80 that my daughter has taken an interest in.  Thanks for all the great info.
