ok i got a $250 gift card to super lift this weekend from a guy that went on a jeep jamboree with my dad and won it but doesn't have a jeep (yet). so now i have @50 to burn on my jeep on super lift stuff. i already have a 2.5inch lift that im happy with for a few years yet. but i need shackles and a sye woudl be nice to get rid of t case lowing/ for future lift. so what would that money be best spent on? are superlift's products good and where can i order their parts from?

If you arenīt planning to lift your jeep more, there is not much to buy from them for your own use. Your best option may be to see what you can re-sell most easily, maybe lift coils, adjustable track bars, quick disconnects, etc. In general, things that TJ owners may want. You can then use the money to buy your shackles.

i think i may invest in a set of those diff covers. i just don't plan on lifting my jeep more until well probably tell i get out of college which I am yet to start yet so at least 4.5 years. unless i run into some good money between now and then. but id like to get thing ready for more as i go.

No, you may be thinking of Superwinch.

turns out it only works toward a entire lift kit :brick: which appers to be out of the question right now... but anyways is there anything special to look for in shackles? ill be ordering them this weekend so i guess its time for me to make a decision.

I bought my rear shackles from this guy (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-Boomerang-Shackles-5-Toyota-YJ-tacoma-jeep-cj_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6763QQihZ008QQitemZ180177295438QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW).
They work fine.

What is the point of Boomerang Shackles?
I made my own rear shackles for less then $20 canadian and they seem to ride and flex fine.

In the rear, the shackle will contact the rear crossmember well before the shackle fully extends. Boomerang/dog leg shackles get around this problem.

that makes sense but only if the ''bend'' is facing forward but i always see them the other way around here. thats why i asked i see them backwards?

No, you want the bend to face backwards on the rear. This helps them extend past the crossmember. Boomerang shackles up front don't really do much.

On the front, they function as an anti inversion shackle. Really usefull if you like driving in the big rocks.

Unless you don't run the bolt through the middle... ;)
