I currently have a Rubicon Express 5.5" long arm suspension installed and when I added a new rear bumper with tire carrier the rear of the jeep sits about 3/4" lower than the front. I have a 8.8" ford rear with shim and I was wondering about if adding a 1" block to the rear would work ok. I am concerned about gaining axle wrap from this and think that a ladder bar might be a good idea. Just wanted to see what the thoughts are on this.

 

Since you are starting to get big

Look here for shackle relocation brackets.

Man I feel like I have been pimping these guys out a lot.

 

Sounds like someone is getting a slice of the pie!

 

Unfortunately no kick backs, I have used there other products and been very pleased. I just have seen a lot of threads that these would be perfect on and no one else sells them.

PLus they Donate to Winterfest every year for our Raffle so you can't beat a company that will give away free stuff just to get there name out there.

 

Does the shackle relocatio bracket help to stave off axle wrap?

 

Also from some of the information on the link that you posted, would I be able to re-attach my bumper and hitch with these relocation brackets?

 

THe best best is to ask Brianho13 on NAXJA he is a member there and can answer more specific questions since he is the owner of HD offroad.

I am sure there is a contact us tab on their site. I use there Rocker Skins that are posted in my Waggy Build and they have been great.

Everyone that I have talked too in the NAXJA MWC that has there Shackle relocation kit has been extremely happy though and for the price you can't beat'em

 

I PMed him on NAXJA so maybe he will venture here to answer any questions.

 

after looking at the pictures from NAXJA I think that with slightly longer bolts the hitch should work just fine with these brackets. Thanks for the heads up, I think I will be ordering these tonight.
