Have wheeled with Snatchblock at Wellsville. It was my cherry bustin ride and had a blast. Lookin forward to more wheelin there and anywhere else we can. Not many places to wheel here in NY.. I have an 80 CJ7 locked front and rear with stock axles, 4" lift, 33x15.50x15 Swampers, winched, custom bumpers, custom tree altered hard top. Lookin to come down and wheel with you in a few weeks.

Hey Bob! Glad to see you over here. We will have to find some new places at Wellsville to flex out your suspension next time we go out.

I loosened up the springs and shackles, added a front locker, winch, just swapped in a T176. It won't flex like yours but it's better than the cherry bustin ride. Hope to see you in a couple weeks... Lookin forward to it..

Hope to get it outside by the weekend and off the lift... It was a garage queen for 6 years, don't want that to happen again... hahaha.

Are u sprung over? Some guys do YJ leafs
over the axle... Stock YJ springs are pretty soft.
Often times people crank down the leaf & shackle bolts
and smoosh the bushings, I think if you tighten them just enough
it would let the bushing flex more & let the suspension work better.
I've seen leafs work great & other times not at all...
Not sure the exact recipe for success, but soft springs is a
good starting point.

I am still sprung under. I did loosen up the shackles already. It's alot better. The previous owner had them cranked down tight and the shackles wouldn't budge at all. I greased the bushings and installed new bolts with lock nuts and also notched the threads as an added precaution so the nuts wouldn't back off. It rides 10 times better now. will do a spring over some day when I change to larger axles. Going to a GM 14 bolt and And front end. Not in the near future though...
