Default Stock XJ Shackles

I am looking for a set stock XJ shackles because the rear of my jeep has gotten a little to tall. I would like a set with good bushings in them. If you have a set send me a message with your price shipped to 45309.

Thanks
Justin

OEM shackles on a lifted rig = harsh ride and limited axle articulation.

Don't do it.

Do you sell anything that is a little longer then factory? I have a set that is 5.25" from center to center and there too long for my application.

I have 3.5" leafs and 1.5" shackles and need to loose about 2" out of the rear. I am planning on going from the standard shackle relocators I have now to no lift shackles. That might net me a 1" loss since I only gained .5" going from a 90* to a 45* with the relocators.
