The finest shackle reversal system available for the Samurai!

Our shackle reversal is designed with hardcore 4-wheeling in mind. Perfect for rough dirt roads or the toughest rockcrawling trails, our suspension kit allows for the smoothest ride and maximum articulation possible (40+ inches if set up optimally). This kit allows you to use the leaf springs from the 1986-1995 Jeep Wranger YJ, which are longer, wider, and softer than any spring available for the Samurai. Coupled with a shackle reversal in front, this kit performs like a coil spring conversion, without the associated cost and complexity.

This kit works with axles in the stock spring-under-axle (SPUA) configuration, although most people have set it up with a spring-over-axle (SPOA) setup for maximum ground clearance and articulation. All parts needed are provided, including the mounting hardware, but the springs are not, in the interest of helping you save on shipping expenses. Jeep YJ springs are easy to obtain; call us for details. SUMO driveshafts are recommended, but not included (see below).

Our Front YJ Wrangler Shackle Reversal System is a complete weld-on kit that includes 2 front spring hangers, 2 shackle mounts, 2 shackles, 2 SPOA pads, 2 spring plates, and all necessary bolts and hardware.

Our Rear YJ Wrangler Spring System is a complete weld or bolt-on kit that includes 2 spring locating boxes, 2 Samurai-to-YJ shackles, 2 SPOA pads, 2 spring plates, and all necessary bolts and hardware. Rear CJ spring locating boxes are also available. Call for details.

We can build any kind of suspension in the world, but for our own Samurais, we choose the YJ shackle reversal. It's simple, inexpensive, and works very well. Click here to read an Off-Road.com product review, or install our kit and find out for yourself why this is the finest suspension available!

Replace the wimpy stock front driveshaft with a SUMO™ shaft that was designed with the rockcrawler in mind! The long-travel spline provides 9 inches of spline travel, the clearanced flanges increase the shaft's working angle, and the Spicer 1310 U-joints are substantially stronger than the Suzuki joints. The narrow upper shaft helps to eliminate the need to modify the frame crossmember for maximum suspension articulation. This shaft is perfect for long-travel shackle-reversal suspensions. Picture (left) shows our SUMO™ front shaft compared to a stock Suzuki front shaft, both extended to their maximum operating length.

Tired of breaking U-joints? Looking to minimize highway driveline vibrations? Our rear SUMO™ driveshaft bolts directly to the stock Samurai transfer case and pinion flanges. Designed for long-lasting high-speed use, it uses the same Spicer U-joints and clearanced flanges as our other SUMO™ driveshafts.

Looking for a Super Strong rear driveline? Our rear SUMO™ Rock Crawler driveshaft is built with the same long-travel spline as our front Rock Crawler shaft.
