    I went SOA on my '92 YJ with the RE 1.5" extreme duty reverse eye springies. Also 31" Fox emulsions on 35s.

    Initially, I liked the set-up. Very smooth ride good road manners etc. *But* when it came to big climbs I got lots of axle wrap - the rear axle jumped all over the place.

    I then installed a Skyjacker 5th link ladder bar, this improved axle wrap somewhat. I'm not very impressed with the 5th link - I tore the mounting bracket off the axle and mashed the cross member. Next time I will build my own.

    However, when I am on 4.5 rated, crazy a$$ climbs I still get axle wrap.



    So I am in the process of making some more mods

      I sprung over my CJ5, and had endless issues with it
      axle wrap, steering set up etc
      I fianally went back and just bought a spring under lift
      I also tried reverse shacles and went back to regular
