C2 I've seen them in person. The spring bushing sits in the same spot pretty much as a shackle would.

Less than 1/2" of lift is attained with the installation of these.



For those of you looking for the specific leaf packs, i've looked into it extensively. Unfortunately it's just not quite in the cards for us to make that jump yet.

Hope that helps! If anyone has any questions they can always call the shop or email me directly at tim@liquidironindustries.com!

Very cool design I'll certainly be throwing a set of these on my list for my XJ build.

It seems like every question has been answered in this thread. I hope people take the time to read through every page since there is great information. It gets old seeing the same question brought up a bunch of times when it was answered the first time.

-Liquid, looking forward to the traction bars and other future products!

I don't see why you couldnt run a shackle with the sliders. All you would really have to do is prevent the shackle from rotating. That could be done pretty easily by adding a secondary slider on the shackle itself so that it will slide against the slider rail or just welding on a metal tab to prevent the shackle from rotating once mounted to the slider. See my uber crap diagram.

can you say CRAZY stress on the unibody they are mounted too if you stuck a long shackle off them? its like adding lift blocks... tons of stress on the leafs... same difference just upside down... lol

lift is not what these sliders are trying to produce... its flex... up and down they are better... and i actually think they would help cut down on axle wrap...

If anyone has anything else they are interested in for their XJ feel free to post up. We are more than open to developing new products for the XJ market.
Longshot, but I would be 100% interested in buying a hybrid cage kit. There is nobody that offers them online. there are plenty of pre made cage kits but not one thats a hybrid. Please make one and I will buy it.
