Suzuki Samurai Missing Link Drop Shackles w/ CJ Springs Rear Suspension

[finishthagame]

what tires????

[04yz125Man]

you dont need shackles on ur solid leaf spring pearch do you?

[evulution1337]

@04yz125Man

No. I have seen double-shackle setups but really there is no need for it and it's definitely not streetable with that kind of setup unless you link it and/or pin it but at that point might as well go coils or 1/4 elliptical.

A missing-link / drop shackle/ 3/4 elliptical all work really well for flex but you have to tweak them all (especially 3/4 elliptical) to keep stability.

wat lift kit is this or is it a fully custom kit

[evulution1337]

@D86shanks

This is the first suspension mod we did since he did an SOA with stock springs. In this video it has CJ rear springs with the main eyes in the stock position/missing links and front stock leafs. There are newer videos with the current setup.

seems like its too stiff

[evulution1337]

@ZacNeale95

it is a little stiff but not TOO much...in this vid the front is what is causing the problem. the front has has been taken care of by installing YJ front springs.

[ZacNeale95]

oh ok..i was saying cuz i have the ive got a my self a suzuki like that and the suspension is out ragious like the wheeling spots we have here in kitimat the district put big rocks at the entry to stop people from going up there cuz its where the powerlines are and me and my dad crawled right over them..it took a few attempts but we ended up flopping right up and over

@ZacNeale95

sammis are nice...they work REALLY well off-road especially because they are so light.

[ZacNeale95]

they fit down the ATV trails too lol

[evulution1337]

@ZacNeale95

Hell yea they do - my CJ is just about the MAX width for ATV trails...but his truck is a bit wider now too...

[patriotsundergod]

that thing is tall

[evulution1337]

@patriotsundergod

Yea...it sits much more proper now with 33s and wheel spacers...

I am going to post up new vids soon...his truck is totally different now.

[Tobystacy]

Those are stock X90 wheels.

[mopar8903]

by the way nice zuk! were did you get those rims? they would look good on mine!

[evulution1337]

@mopar8903

Thanks.

Those are actually his 'temp\spare\crap wheels" but IIRC they are from a tracker?

Check out the newer vids of his truck...more to come (my daughter hid the video camera bag haha - she's only 19mos)

[mopar8903]

he must think hes driveing a v8 or something because u gotta rev your sammi to get up something!

lol

[evulution1337]

@mopar8903

Not really...the clutch was bad in this video which was the real problem. I think he was in 2H also...

Now that he is geared there is no problem what-so-ever.

[rebeldawg2169]

looks a bit on the narrow side for me

[evulution1337]

@rebeldawg2169

Yes - it was definitely too narrow...if you look at a newer vid you will notice she is a bit wider. :)

[slymersami]

with the axle moved back 2.5" does it hit the gas tank

[evulution1337]

Nope...not at all - keep in mind he is SOA - gas tank in stock location.
