What's with the shackle angle on that leaf spring? Looks like it's a little... tilted the wrong way. How's it look at ride height?
Also, I might be wrong but those look a lot like grade 5 bolts holding the upper leaf/shackle mount to the plate...
EDIT: I'm not familiar with buggy stuff at all, maybe it's just me. But it looks pretty strange compared to what I'm used to.
The shackle angle looks great at ride height tilted towards the back. Almost half the axle weight is being supported by the springs in those pictures. So its pretty much what it would look like at about half flex. They were grade five bolts becuase thats what i had laying around at the time. Made a list and ran to the hardware store later. Its not really an eliptical setup which is probably what your used to seeing.
