It appears one of the shackles is/was produced wrong?
It appears in the top picture that the shackle on the right has 2 holes, thats for 2.5" and 3" of lift. But you can't see the left shackle is its got 2 holes or not.
But in the bottom picture, it shows the shackle on the right only having 1 hole?
Fluke in the pic or is that how they are?
Yup perfect set of shackles lol.

New to the xj, need to extend brake lines and angle of driveshaft with these budget lifts?
Quote:
Nope. They're actually pretty simple. Spacers go under the front coil springs to "boost" the front end up and the rear shakles just lower the rear leaf springs from the original position to raise the rear end up. Originally Posted by repoman78

You'll only need to do what you mentioned if you're planning on going 4"+ possibly, which requires new shocks leafs etc. This kit works with your stock shocks and leafs and doesn't compromise ride comfort.
Only reason I haven't put the kit on mine is because my rear leafs are sagging bad and I don't have the time or funds to replace everything.

If the rear is sagging like mine, then it wouldn't match. Which is why I didn't put it on. You could always cut the spacers down too. When the stock suspension isn't sagging or worn, this kit would work fine. I didn't do my research first which is why I'm selling them and I'll upgrade everything in the spring.Originally Posted by jomps
so im wondering why the back lift is not going to match the front? am I missing something?

Stock shocks with 3" of lift? Thats not gonna work at all, your flex will be zero. And more than likely at 3" the track bar will need to be addressed as well. Other than that GLWS.Originally Posted by hytek

Then why do they advertise it on their website as well as other places? This is only a budget boost guys, if you want to get technical take it to the tech section..Originally Posted by jmm0122
