Re: JK 44s and other Fun Stuff
Ordered RCV Rebuild kits, was happy to discover the RCV willl clear the knuckles if you take off the boot... I was about to pull the knuckles.
![]() Disassembled and cleaned out ![]() Back together with fresh grease. ![]() After taking it out the last time, It was clear the rear suspension needed some work. I have been running HD shackle brackets, Rusty's .75 shackles, and Big Off Road 4.5 flexy packs. These leafs did great for the last 8 years but one side has started to sag.... so time for a new setup. Settled on Deaver 4" G9s ![]() Comparison to the BOR packs, quite a different design. ![]() SFR shackles ![]() The Deavers have a longer main leaf then the BOR packs, and combined with the longer SFR shackle, I really didn't need the the drop brackets any more. In fact I liked the setup best with the shackle in the factory location... I would have put it there but one of the weld nuts broke off. Decided the SFR shackle boxes would go in to replace, but I was trying to go wheeling over the weekend so I put the drops back in. ![]() ![]() |

Re: JK 44s and other Fun Stuff
Good choice on the Deavers. I haven't really gotten to take mine out yet to use them, but man do they ride better on the street.

JK 44s and other Fun Stuff
I've never noticed main leafs to be wrapped around the bushing so that the are over the eye. That seems like a superb design IMHO...

Re: JK 44s and other Fun Stuff
Got it out for a 2nd wheeling day, still missing a rear shock...
No clicking from the RCVs, got the first rock rash on the new wheels. Starting to perform like I want, drove 3 hours there at 75 mph, air down, adjust anti rock and wheel all day. Air up, tighten antiknock and it does 75 mph for 3 hours home with no issues! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: JK 44s and other Fun Stuff
Yep that’s the goal! Trailer queens are cool n all but I’m all about run what ya brung and make it back home. I’d expect nothing less with such a solid setup... then Deavers are sexy too!

Re: JK 44s and other Fun Stuff
Ya I’m sold on the SFR srb... quality design and stout
Looks good! So this thread is now current ya? Those brackets are fairly new... and I know the beginning of the thread was after you finished the build looking back... right?

Re: JK 44s and other Fun Stuff
Time for rear bumps.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Took the packs apart to be able to set bump... for as expensive as these leafs are they sure do a poor job on painting them. ![]() ![]() |

Just got my stinky fab SRBs in... I've seen others with the plates included... and welding the nuts to em seems like a no brainer... I will follow your lead but for 10$ extra bucks or so it shoulda come that way IMHO
