Need more flex in the Paj, SWB 85, Torsion Front + Leaf Rear.
Its fitted with 60 Series Cruiser Shocks in the rear which have more compression and extension than the standard Paj shocks but I feel that other things are limiting it...
So, Drop Shackles??? Remove Leafs??? Trim Bumptops??? What can I do to get just a little more outa it, I figure that im wasting my time trying to get the front to work as IFS just wont do it, so Im focusing my attepmts on the rear...
Ideas PLS!

drop shackles work well. or put a longer custom leaf pack in with fewer leaves and extended shackles. or even just extended shackles should help it flex more this will give a bit of lift to so you may need to get longer rear brake line.

drop shackles increase articulation (they work well for that) but they suck at just about everything else, they incease wheel hop, shorten the life of spring packs, help induce axle wrap and a few other undesireable traits.
The rest I agree with

Terra flex revolver shackles will do the job they run about 80USD and are a good product, if the extra saddles are available get those too they're another 40 or so. look them up for 83-88 Montero or dodge raider

ther terra flex look much the same as the superior engineering ones. you get reat flex but a harsh ride unless the shackles are pinned closed.
