    I have two 57 cj5's and on the front axle the shackles are on the rear of the spring behind the axle. They both look factory and I thought they did this for a year or two. Can someone shed some light on this!! Thanks fdpwr2a

    drexotic Happy now?!?!?

    How about some pictures of your jeeps' springs? It'd be a nice addition to the tech Library.
