You will have to mix and match to find the right combination for your setup. Right now I have the big hangers in front with the long shackles directly to the front hole in the frame. On the rear I have the stock hanger and long shackle out back.

thanksguys thats what i wanted to see. i wanted to have a base to see how it ran before i start to experiment with diff hanger setups.

ok so i got the shackles on. i copied the pics from 1badjeep above. but here is another question.

i can see the amount of lift this hopup gives the tf2 exspecialy in the front so do i need to add longer shocks all the way around?
im thinking yes??


maybe these? an extra 10mm on each end.

these arent the shock everyone say arent that great due to mismatched pistons and stuff?
or should i got 100mm frt & 110mm rear?

I put axial rod ends on the bottoms of mine and it gives it a little bump in length and they dont come undone ever 5 min...Cheaper than new shocks too!

I did this with new scale shocks when I had my leaf kit with bruiser shackles..! "thumbsup"

thanks guys soit seems im saving mylunch money for some longer shocks. the new rod end sounds like a nice trick i will try that forthe time being.
