If your rear end on your rig is locked do not go with a long shackle, one of the guys in town tried it and it was kinda scary on the street, he ended up going with the trail tough missing link type front and rear, the rear one looks kinda trick and I don't think it is in there catalog but the parts are prob. seperate on there web page. I'm saving up for one now I have the springs though  ;D  give them a call.

Well I don't have the jp Eater suspension...but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night....;D
I built a kind of home made version of that system for my sammy.  I used 2" lift CJ springs.  If I were going to buy a system, I think this is the one I'd get.   The CJ springs aren't as soft as the YJs, but since I wasn't doing a spring over that is the way I went.  
The ride is nicer than stock, with quite a bit more travel.

Well guys, I have two choices, borrow a digital camera, or use my 35mm and have them developed to a disc.  Either way will take me some time...but I'll get to it.  Acme Adaptors is also wanting pictures of their "Hi Link" steering installed on the rig.  
The good thing about this lift is, after building new front upper shock mounts, I had room to put on Exp Pro comp 12" front shocks.  The same thing in 10" bolted right on the rear.
THere is a lot of stuff you will need to take care of.  I bought new springs so the lift ended up costing me $900.  

Gotta go,
later

You won't be disappointed with the Trail Tough kit.  Very well built and a breeze to install.  I have just the front ML portion and built the remaining front hanger/shackles and full rear myself.  

Cheers,
Steve
