Anyone ever use these?
 
I was wondering if anybody here had ever used these adjustable shackles or knows somebody who has? Any input would be helpful. I'm looking at different ideas.

Oh, and by the way, does it matter what model year the front coils off a V8 Grand come from? Just so I know what to look for.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Heard of them, never heard anything about experiences though

interesting concept..ive never heard of them either but you hear stories about people bending 2" shackles.. but ya never know. as for the coils, any year V8 ZJ will work. they will give you ~ 1" - 1.5" of lif

wow, gonna look into making some, best idea I've seen all day! lol. Seem a bit pricy for my taste, but it would allow you to dial in and compensate for a bent spring a little, I'd think.

IMO, the best way to compensate for bent or warped springs is to replace them. :) the back of my jeep sagged an inch when i put my swingout on with the spare so im going to do a bastard pack to make up for the lost lift.
