So im very pleased with the low profile shackle relocation brackets! Easy install, great ride quality and I gained a lot of flex! Heres a before and after shot plus a close up of how I have everything set up. Great product guys! Just an FYI though, I had a .75" lift shackle on it, and if the shackle was mounted in 2nd hole away from the original bolt hole for the stock box, it would hit the bolt head when compressed. And if it was mounted at the 3rd hole away from the original bolt hole, the shackle would hit the box when compressed. I solved this with the 1" rubicon express boomerang shackles. My leaf setup is stock leafs with a rough country AAL.

Quick question for anyone using stock shackles:


I got my relocators in today, yay!!! I put the shackles through the 2nd to last hole (closest to engine). I wanna try and fix this once, should I go back to the 2nd from the beginning (rear)?? Where are you guys running em??

FST! Easy install, solid product, I'm impressed and happy I made this purchase, thank you!!!

I forgot to put that, sitting all the way back, shackle bolt is sitting on the rear. Did you get any lift from the drop shackles?

oh well id keep moving it until it makes about a 45 degree angle. everyones will vary but with the stock shackles you run into the problem of them being so short so the shackle bolt wont actually clear the box. But yea I got like 2 inches from them. Theyre supposed to give you more but since you have versatility with the shackle boxes I was able to control how much lift I got

AH. I have been telling cutomers that you successfully ran these on a stock shackle because the install you and Barrelmaker posted up showed a stock shackle. I didnt realize you had switched. :/

A longer shackle will gain more droop, that's why i run with 1.5" shackles, no lift great angle sweet droop.

I did run it successfully pretty much. It can clear if its not very far forward but they are really short for the boxes. But i never had any complaints, you could just see where the nut was hitting. I added a longer shackled because i wanted more lift
