I believe he was asking that when the axle droops and then compresses again,what will keep the shackle from folding in under the jeep instead of out ?? did you move the front spring hanger on the rear spring back 2 inches ??

Looks good... you may want to turn that rear axle over before you weld it up 
.
Do you plan on cutting the body in the rear to clear those tires?

2006 Dodge Ram 2500
I currently run 38.5 Boggers, and I've had 40x17 Ground Hawgs under my CJ7 with stock springs in the back. I've had ladder bars the whole time, mind you, but still was using stock springs.
Granted, this was on the back. On the front I have modified 73-87 Chevy 4" springs. Once they settled in, they ride at a stock-ish arch for CJ springs.

Panamacj5 - I thought the question was easy enough to understand, if you missed what I meant, then that is answer enough. Good luck with your project and have fun now.

I feel the yj springs are ok for 44s axles and 37s and down tires. When you start running tons and larger tires the 1/4 springs are not stout enough. A friend ran yj springs with tons and 39s and they didn't last him a year. If you must run yj springs mix in some 1/2 ton leafs.
Hope this helps.

You don't say how long they have been on, how often he wheels, or how hard? I can tell you from first hand account one of my friends cracked a leaf within a year the rest were toast, another friend with an 83" wb CJ5 36" Q's replaces bump stops every other wheeling event.
This is only what I've seen first hand, you or others may have different results depending where and how you wheel.

Those Youtube clips look like a lot of fun! Although guys my age don't sit on the hood of a CJ or any other vehicle with a cable out.
More than likely he was referring to playing in the mud causing more breakage than playing in the rocks.
Play nice everyone.
