I did 3.5" RE lift, but made the mistake with tight money to get AAL's and now can already tell the back is lower then the front with surco and a spare tire thrown up there, but i was just wondering would rear shackles help with the problem or should i wait till i got the money for some full leaf packs.
Thanks!

If it is a street driven Jeep I have heard to stay away from the revolver shackles but the RC ones are supposed to be very strong.

I have tera flex shackles on mine and have had no problems. I did how ever have to do some exhaust work. I had Dynomax pipe and tip and had to do a side exhaust out because it hit the shackle. But thats the only problem I have had.

if you add shackles to an already sagging leaf pack all they will do is make the leafs sag more. an extended shackle allows for a greater range of motion that put the leafs in positions they werent originally designed for.
and no matter what shackle you go with, you won't have any problems (just stay away from the universal shackles at autozone)
