Default 2" shackles or BB for rear, 01 XJ

My butt is draggin' on the XJ. Not too bad, but since I put on new wheels I've noticed some very faint rubbing when I hit a bump on the highway.

I have to wait til February to do my full 3.5" lift, and I don't wanna wait until then to fix the rear.

So, I'm looking for a cheap fix. 2" shackles should get me through 2-3 months, so if you have a set you can get rid of, let me know.

I don't mind paying reasonable shipping, and I would like to do it with Paypal.

My location is Lakewood/Cleveland, OH

This may not be the answer your looking for but check the two pull-a-parts here in Cleveland, for a 95-99 GM full size truck. The rear shackles are a bit beefier then the stockies, and add about 1.5" of lift

Ah, good lookin' out. I'm going to look at my options this week. I really didn't want to spend any more money on the Jeep this month, but I may have to.

I just took all my stuff out of the back, even the seat, and it looks like it came up a little bit. I haven't driven it yet, so we'll see.

Like I said, it is very faint, but just knowing that it has happened is driving me nuts.

Yeah I know what you mean with the spending money.. That why for my buddies XJ that is more his beater car, since his Audi steals all his cash, we will probably be doing these shackles and ZJ coils up front, to give him that little lift he wants.

A guy in Garfield Heights just e-mailed me about my stock wheels for sale. I only had them on Craigslist for 20 minutes!

He needs a set to paint black for his MJ. So there is some extra cash I can throw at the rear lift.
