[QUOTE="Stoopid Jeep, post: 435333, member: 20049"] I definitely noticed a difference loosening the bolts a bit and adding greasable shackle pins. [U]Definitely[/U]. The stock bolts were so tight the components were basically bound to each other. My little jeep would beat you to death in the stock configuration. Switching springs and shocks helped even more. I kept the greasable pins cuz, why wouldn't I? As far as availability of stock length boom shackles, I have no idea. I would be surprised if nobody [ever] made any. But looking around, they sure don't appear to be available. Mostly I was just pointing out that boom shackles don't change the geometry if the length doesn't change. [/QUOTE]
