Default Shackle relocation bracket?

If any one that has these would tell me what changes they saw once they did it. I'm curious if it pulls the leaf spring in tighter at all. I feel like when I put the 2" rc shackles on it let the spring sag a lot and I think that's why. Just curious cause I'd like to avoid the trouble of making a bastard pack.

They work great. It will ride and flex better. If your shackle angle is vertical this will help put it at a 45 which makes it a lot smoother and allows for more droop.

Yea they work well and will give you at least an inch of lift. I pretty much bought mine to level out the rear by raising it one inch-and got the added benefits of better flex and better ride. I bought the RC ones, and the shackle hits the bracket if I were to run it at the 45 degree angle like it is supposed to be. Instead I run it one hole back and get like a 65 degree shackle angle. I am going to have cut off the back part of the bracket when I have a chance or get some curved shackles.

Well I got the aal lift so it sags a little to much. Hopefully my dad makes them for his jeep and a second set for me so I don't have to. But I'm thinking it will let the leafs have tension. Not sure though.
