Nine inches you got to be kidding, you could go into the spring
de-arcing business. Have a picture so I may replace theses ruined springs example: http://www.billhughes.com/93-YJ-2.jpg God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O marvin martian wrote: > > ok here goes some friends of mine have a 75 cj5frame with a 46 cj2a body > on it. 36 inch tires. 4 inch lift procomp springs. how long should > shackles be bolt to bolt before it is unsafe? right now i believe > theyre somewhere in the 9 to 9 1/2 inch range to alot for body and tire > clearance/fit. |

I will shortly, those springs in the pic you have are DEAD. If someone puts
a shackle lift on DEAD springs it will probably so not nice things. "L.W.

Pictu
http://www.jeeps-offroad.com/reader-.../jays_jeep.jpg As you can see they are not flat. They look ALMOST the same as before, maybe ..25 inch difference. I've experienced no driving issues, it's fine. And those springs weren't even brand new. "L.W.

How much did you have to shim it and what brand of spring did you use?

Thanks, I see the rust, indicating a crack has started between the
frame and perch from being wiggled back and forth.
