Thumbs up LOW PROFILE Shackle Relocation Kits

You guys asked for them, so we designed them! We did some brain storming and talked to some of our customers. Finally, a Shackle Relocation Kit that doesn't add any unwanted lift! Check out the new design and tell us what you think. FST's advancement is made possible by our customers and their needs.

We also offer a standard kit for our customers that may need the extra boost due to sagging leafs from years of offroad fun.

Not entirely sure how this works. So the whole original shackle box is trimmed, then you have one bolt bolting it to the original weldnut. Is the relocation bracket going to sit flush to the frame? If so how are you suppose to put the bolt for the new shackle in?

You are correct on the installation. The bracket holds tight against the weld nut area and bottom of the frame but not the side of the frame. The weld nut actually comes out of the frame surrounded by a 45 degree cone. This cone sticks out almost 1 inch. Just enough for the nut to fit on the back side between the bracket and the frame.

Not yet. We are actually looking at a possible giveaway or big discounts for a couple lucky customers that want to install, thrash on them on the trail, take pictures, and give some feedback.

I did say a COUPLE LUCKY XJ owners. lol SOOOO. How do I make this fair? How many of you guys would be in for 35% off total, this would include the CF discount.

I added a couple exploded view install renders as well as another 3D PDF on the bottom of the page showing the install location. This should clear up the concept for those of you that had questions. I was just noticing that no companies offer nut strips with these kits (that I have seen). What are you guys doing for this? Should I make them an add on for 15 bucks?

add on might not be a bad idea. Personally I already have them so they aren't needed, but $15 sounds pretty reasonable.

and I'm feeling pretty lucky!!

As soon as I get a definitive count on who is all interested in testing we can go from there. I could probably hook 4 of you guys up for 35% off. (Share the wealth kind of a thing) If there isn't enough interest, then it will most likely only be 2 guys for a bigger discount. The customer that came to me with the idea and request for this product is already first on those lists.

I'd be okay with 35% - I just can't afford a full retail price set.. college sucks!
