M.O.R.E. SHACKLE QUESTION

On my '84 Scrambler - I just installed front/rear MORE shackles - there's an extra bolt w/sleeve for each shackle set, which I first thought to be the hanger/bolt for the other side of each set of springs (and couldn't figure out what the sleeve was for).

Then it came to me that the sleeve would fit in the middle hole of the bracket and tried it on the rear - but it doesn't seem needed (steel's already thicker than the stock, and it causes a little bulging in the center as the bushing is just an 1/8 inch or so too long.

Thanks in advance...if anybody's interested - the shackles went on w/ out a problem (old & original were a bear to take out). Ride much improved.

I installed their heavy duty shackles a couple years ago, rediculiosly heavy duty compaired to stock, anyway I didn't have any extra parts, just shackle nut/bolt.

Greg & Frank -

Thanks! After your link Greg I did some peeking under a few jeeps I've seen in and around Memphis, and found a couple with the MORE installed, and sure enough, my hunch was right after all. One had the distortion/bowing like mine ended up with, and another had some newer leaf springs (wider - so there was no bowing at all).

Despite the bow, I'm going back under it this weekend if I get the chance for some new shocks.

Thanks again for the posts - looking forward to learning more as I go along...
