I really need to fix my shackle angle, and Ive been looking at shackle relocation brackets. The problem is, I'm already sitting at 4.5in of lift. I REALLY don't want to go any higher, at least until I can afford a SYE and new driveshaft. I could live with an inch max more lift, but I really would prefer to not have to buy new leaf packs, since the ones I have now are pretty new. Also, I just don't have that kind of money. Is there a good kit that will add less than an inch of lift?

how about angle cut shackles?

i read somewhere the v2.0 hd offroad engineering brackets can add as little as 5/8" of lift. get those and throw a couple dead bodies in the back and you wont gain much lift at all.

Relocation brackets usually give a 1.5'" max and if your shackle is strait up and down then the new angle will drop it .5-1". so you shouldn't get more than an inch outta it.

The boomerang ones?

no look like these will alter angle some

yeah, those are boomerang shackles.

get the hd offroad V.2 brackets

Or leaf spring sliders.

Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it. I'll look into the V.2 kit.


How much will boomerang shackles really help? Has anyone had a similar problem and had it fixed with boomerang shackles? I have heard boomerang shackles are hard to install and can have clearance issues at full flex. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Boomerang shacks do help, it takes your vertical shackle and changes the angle. Kind of like LCA's with bends in them. It's what people use if they do not want to go higher and need better angle.
IMO a slightly smaller lift leaf pack + HDOR shackle relocation is a better choice.

How are those sliders working out for you?

just for clarification, is this the kit you all are talking about?
