    Couldn't help but stop and take a pic with the sun shining and a thunderstorm passing 3 miles to the southeast. I just wish I had a better camera:

The rears are genuine Santana parabolics with military shackles. Nothing too fancy.

    Thanks BB.
    Did you extend the spring hangers as well to run the mil. shackles? Any negative effects to this mod?

    What kind of crazy suspension do you have that allows you to do that? Looks like a Mars Rover maneuver. I like it.

    I did not extend the front hangers . The military shackles are a temporary measure. Without a lowering the front hanger and just using the shackles, you will have some problems. The front universal joint will get into bind and the caster is too much . I want to say 9 degrees. With a shim it works great. I have relocated my shocks and have 10 inches of travel. Works good for me. I am going to run longer springs on the front eventually. I 'm having too much fun driving right now. I don't want to decommission it for the swap!!
