I agree! The only reason I didn't go that route was because I had already bought the round ones when I thought I could use the low profile plates. They were $10 a piece for 3/8" 😬
If you were going to go through all that work why didn't you put the fixed point at the front and the shackles at the rear ? I did it on my yj and it had a way better ride and way more capable on the rocks
Pros and cons for shackle reversal. Shackle forward has better braking characteristics, better climbing, better clearance, and better driveline angles. Another thing to consider is i can now use a longer spring without moving the spring hangers.
Been wanting to binge watch this build. Wish it would just jump from one to the next in order.
Check out the YJ Build Playlist on my channel
Good info on the Astro stuff. I think it would be a good idea to use square ubolts around the leaf springs.

Looking good!

@FortuneOffRoad really I found braking way better with the shackle reversal same with climbing everything els your right

What do you think "getting the Cs really hot" means? 😉
