Yes, stock MJ shackles gain 1 inch roughly.

Oh I wasn't sure. I thought maybe the front needed to have one on it too. I'm still learning all this suspension stuff. Thanks for the feedback.

if you had a rig with fornt and rear shackles then yes .

on the fornt of a xj the angle of the control arms , type of shocks, and rate of your springs play into how your front end handles on the road and on the trail.

The LII leaf spring sliders give about a half inch if any. But those eliminate shackles altogether...so... I've heard first hand from two people that have had relocation brackets and the sliders and both said they enjoyed the sliders more than the shackles.

The sliders are much more stable than the relocation brackets
