Nic's Jeep gets some badly needed Rubicon Express 4.5" springs and boomerang shackles! The bushings were also replaced, and the new bushings have grease fittings for future maintenance! This Jeep YJ has been owned by Nic for the last 10 years, and it features the 4.0, 33" tires and a welded roll cage. Check out my other videos of this Jeep! Check back for the new shocks, SYE kit and etcetera!

You guys kill me with your super-clean Jeeps. I waxed mine a couple weeks ago and all that happened was the rust holes got bigger! LOL

UndergroundTrev reason #457 why I live in San Diego!

Rear shackles are in upside down. Long arm goes down, short goes up.

[@velazquezjaime149]

Super red looks awesome tks for share brother. Those springs you put on are nice set up ☝

[@gorillahd9247]

Great looking build! Scott

[@jmarceth5]

AsomenYJ What was the high of the YJ before you change the shackle and leaf spring . ? The parts that you upgrade are bigger than the stock ones . By how much , I would like to do the same to mine .

[@lochlanm8684]

1:59 I won't let him put these back on dirty "jusy spray painted over rust" - nice and clean

[@repr26]

Lochlan M I'd whip his ass for painting my yard rocks.

4:10 What’s in the box?! 😂

[@herbiesnerd]

It’s been two years I see. What’s your current opinion of your reversed shackle performance?

[@dougharlow6037]

So how do you like/opinion on the new springs and shackles? Are they stiffer or just a a larger arc? Thanks

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Doug Harlow he seems to like them. No issues after all this time.

[@johnkessler1761]

Why is the front shackle on the back of the leaf spring?

[@zanesshuttleworth4673]

So when the spring compresses it moves backwards instead of foward into the obstacle, hope that helps

[@momo-yz4lu]

Zane's Shuttleworth so in this case it’s a preference in flexing

[@calebenlow]

You said you’d sell your springs cheap do you still have them?

[@austinhood7247]

Where did you get the springs

[@Macsspecialitiesextras]

Can you tell me where nick got the reverse shackle kit?

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

He got them from Mountain Off Road Enterprises.

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Correction: he built the kit but used the MORE shackles.

[@Macsspecialitiesextras]

Did nic build the shackle hangers as well as the main eye bushing sleeve in the frame?

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Yes, he did.

[@michaelrivera2093]

How does he like the ride? I want to get OME but I seen they only go up to 2.5 so my next Orion was the RE

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Michael Rivera he said ride is a night and day difference.

[@roryc93]

hey man, I'm hoping you can give me some clarification, I'm looking into getting a 4 inch lift for my YJ and have been trying to figure out what to do with my drive shaft, if I recall correctly you have a 4 inch lift on your yj, do you have anything done do your drive shaft? Slip yoke eliminator, rear cv driveshaft or has it been left stock?

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Rory Cairns I have a transfer case drop on mine with no issues. He's getting an SYE kit for his very soon. I'll do another video.

[@roryc93]

It's all stock other then the transfer case drop? Are you having any driveshaft vibration?

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Rory Cairns mine is, as far as I can tell. You shouldn't need more than the transfer case drop with a 4" lift like mine. I don't have any vibration at all.

[@roryc93]

awesome, thanks for the help!

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Rory Cairns glad to help

[@GodzillaMX007]

Very nice yj! What size tires u running and what brand?

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Eric Guterac 33x12.5x15 on 8" wheels. I can't remember the tire brand off-hand. They should be visible in the video, I think. The tires on my black YJ are same size Pro Comps.

[@dirt.road.warriors7143]

first Time watching your videos. what rear bumber setup do you have

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Anthony Villani cool! It's a Tuff Stuff brand. Was not expensive at all.

[@dirt.road.warriors7143]

OhYeahAboutThat thanks man I live that look

[@rileyschaefer652]

what front end is he running?

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Billy Joes stock front if I remember correctly

[@kryptoknight9709]

Don't the front schackles go under the front bumper ???

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Terry Kubel if I remember correctly he modified the shackle mounts on his Jeep.
