lower my jeep a lil
i finally ordered some shackle relocation brackets. well now i'm needing to lower it about 1.5 inches
i have 5.5 re leafs rc shackles with 2 holes 1.5 and 2" lift i put my shackle at the angle i want it and now its still 1.5" to tall. i even put in the 1.5 lift hole in the shackle. i'm eathier thinking 1" shackles or removing leafs or trading out my 5.5 springs for some 3"

Re: lower my jeep a lil
see if you can find some 3.5" Leaf packs and put the shackle back at the 2" hole or you could try removing a leaf from each pack and see if that still works for you.

Re: lower my jeep a lil
I'd say smaller leaf packs. If you get real short shackles for your big leaves, you are gonna lose a decent amount of flex because the springs won't have room to stretch out as they flatten.

Re: lower my jeep a lil
you could remove a few leaves from the pack too...
Thats what I did when I re-located my shackles... but then I had to build a traction bar.

Re: lower my jeep a lil
I'd go with smaller leaf pack, keep the relocation brackets and long shackles for flex.
I'm about to order the relocation brackets, but i'm waiting till i have money enough for some 3.5" leafs. Then i can keep my longer shackles. Should flex like mad when all is said and done.
