Reasons my XJ drives like shit #23

I always blamed the add-a-leaf. But now I see it's the remarkably stupid shackle angle.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the angle supposed to look like?

/Not a 4x4 guy but still curious

Hold on, what is going on with that passenger shock?

I am curious about how the shackle angle has to do with anything ..... Then I read this article, nevermind....

I hate the little pocket that the shackle mounts up inside. It really limits the travel of the shackle. I have shackle relocation brackets which alleviate this problem, but I'm still trying to get my pinion angle just right.
