Shackle relocation brackets will get you the same lift and will help improve your ride/flex across all terrain.

I purchased the bolt on solutions from Rough Country and love em!

yes and no, you really need both to get the full benefit of each. I have extended shackles and relocators, most relocators recommend extended shackles because stock length hit. I suggest getting both. Flexes amazing Extended rear shackles for Cherokee-image-2657109798.jpg

Also, wouldn't recommend rough country to anyone, not the best company and the products are cheap for a reason.

Completely agree I'm in the process of building extended shackles now, however, for what they OP was asking for the relocation brackets work just fine for a daily driven rig with stock shackles until you're ready for some more lift/flex.

Also, if the XJ in the avatar is the Jeep these are going on...getting both would maybe be to much right now.

but most relocation brackets don't work without extended shackles, most of the time the shackle is too short. I went shackles then relocators personally.

And I'm doing the opposite with no issues...so the OP has choices.

Try a half & half mixture of atf & acetone. Its supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread.
It worked on my stubborn axle nut like a charm.
