You got a picture of the Slider Boxes? I've considered these and they're affordable. Even seen them with bearings instead of UHMW.j20brett wrote:Still running rancho 44044's on mine with shackle reversal (slider boxes instead of shackles, but same effect). Brake dive seems the same as before the flip. Yes, long travel shaft needed. I have 9" slip and use almost all of it. No cut and turn needed on mine so far. Running 2 deg shims to help with pinion angle and that left me with 4 deg caster. Drives straight at 70mph with no ill effects so far.

I have the honcho in the garage and ready to tear it down and weld some hangers on...
My front driveshaft already has bad splines and it will be replaced by a long travel one.Stuka wrote:Oh, you may find you also want to add a traction bar up front, as you will get more axle wrap with the rear shackle. Plus you will want a longer travel driveshaft, assuming you dont already have one. Without enough travel you risk breaking your pretty t-case.
This is a long travel driveshaft??fulsizjeep wrote:The Waggy in the linked pictures has over 100k miles on the SOA, shackle reverse mods. It does have a long travel front drive shaft. No sway bar which I miss. The flex is sweet.
I DO NOT POLISH my QTs.
Thats a very short travel drive shaft. REALLY surprised he has not broken that QT yet. With a rear shackle, the axle moves backwards as it travels up.Blake wrote:This is a long travel driveshaft??fulsizjeep wrote:The Waggy in the linked pictures has over 100k miles on the SOA, shackle reverse mods.

It compresses almost to the bottom on stuff and stretches as needed on droop.
