Another small update on the spring-under situation.
This is your leaf pack, this is your leaf pack on drugs:

The flex steer is pretty wild, the axle moves about 4.5 inches backwards from full droop to full stuff. Of course this is true for any arched leaf spring, but for me it means clearances are pretty tight.

With the tire at full steer and full bump, we have clearance, Clarence:

I guesstimated on 1/2" lift boomerang shackles from a YJ (5" center to center) and they're alarmingly perfect. I'll be setting the bumpstops so that they don't actually contact the frame here. Some body mount trimming was done to get the full angle.

And here. This will get cleaned up and painted.

Spring-under plus an elocker diff means the u-bolt plate for the passenger side had to get transmogrified a bit.

And, as it's sitting now. Suspension done save for the bump-stops, next up is steering.
