any modification needed to install these on my xj?? or are they the same as the shackles they sell in the budget boosts so i can just install as is?? getting new OEM springs and wanna put these on at the same time to get a couple inches.

thanks

 

I know that the fullsize chevy shackles will give you lift, I don't know if the ford set-up is the same way

 

X2 on what he said.. you want chevy drop shackles from a full size truck

so what about this guy who said he has f150 lowering shackles??

 

For some reason I remember ford using wider leaf springs then chevy or jeep. I know the chevy drop shackles work, I have been using them on my MJ's for yrs, back before they were cool to build. I have been wheeling and building MJ's since 2004. I guess if they are the same width I dont know why it would work.

 

MJ shackles also give a XJ 1in...

 

keep in mind you wanna keep a good shackle angle too cant remember now who makes em but there are adjustable shackle mounts out there you can get they are said to give you 1.5 inches lift and will allow your springs to droop better when flexing

 

hdoffroad makes those brackets

 

I know K5 Blazer rear shackles are pretty long stock I don't know if they are the same width spring though. also along with this if they are the same it would appear a stock XJ shackle would give the older Chevy models a nice lift for the rear.

 

the adjustable shackles, like the ones rough country sells, are only 39 or 49 bucks at o'reillys
