Great pic. I used a 3 inch cutting wheel to do the same. Here is how I handled the leaf bolts and shackle bolts: I finished the install of new leaf springs and extended shackles. Front leaf bolts: Side 1: Broke the weld, cut the bolt on both sides w/ sawzall--recommend Irwin or Dewalt...

I agree, I like the Old Man Emu for the road--no jarring on bumps at speed, and they handle off road well too. They are a nitro gas, and you can find them for about $79 apiece at quadretec. They are bullet proof.

For the plastic parts, glue and material works well. Most of the parts were originally glued and over time have come loose. As for the wind noise, try tightening the doors up a bit by loosening the latch post and sliding it in a fraction--trail and error to get the right amount. This will...

Mission accomplished!! I finished the install of new leaf springs and extended shackles. Problem solved. The upper shackle bolt was seized in both nuts. I drilled a small hole in the pocket below and applied PB for 3 days and still no luck. Side 1 as I thought the nut broke the weld and...

I'm retackling the job tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

Mine is a 94 too. So the only route to replace the nut on the upper shackle bolt is through the top by removing the bumber? Did you drill, cut? Where? There is still hope that the nut is intact and the sleeve is turning--the head is out about 1/4 inch but wont move anywhere after about a...

I'm replacing my leafs and adding longer shackles. Does the upper shackle bolt have a welded bolt like the front leaf bolt? I've read both on other threads and wanted to see if anyone knew for sure. My shackle bolt is currently seized into the sleave and I'm researching options in case I have...

I have the same setup you are looking at--3.55, auto 4.0 and 3" lift w/ 30" BFG AT's. The tranny tends to shift too early, and on freeway hills it is noticable--but still can do 75/80 without difficulty. I have Rusty's airtube and exaust which help a bit. I'm looking to upgrade to 31's and...
