AFAIK, the shifter "gates" are different to allow for the extra position. It can be modified or you can get one from the JY.

 

So i have 6.5" leafs springs on stock shackles... Yes i know i have terrible shackle angle. That's why i bought 4.5" leafs and 2" shackles. Now my only concern is if I'll need shackle relocation brackets. Is anyone running the same setup? Do you all think I'll need SRBs?

The length of the shackle doesn't change the angle. You may have ha a better shackle angle before than now. If your shackle is at 90* then you need relocators

 

So me ordering the shackles and leafs is pointless? It won't fix my angle? I was told that it would fix it

 

Depends on how long the new leafs are.

Relocators are the way to go, IMO.

 

I got the 4.5" rustys leafs. my other problem with my 6.5" leafs and stock shackles is that if i were to do relocators i would be gaining another 1-1.5" of lift, which i don't want since my rear end already sits higher than the front.

 

Get the 0 lift relocation brackets.

Then when you get the shackle at the right angle it should actually lower the rear just a smidge to match the front.

 

Well i already bought the 4.5" leafs and shackles:/ i really hope i didn't buy them just so i would have to buy relocation brackets, i was trying to avoid that. I'm reallllly hoping that i will get good shackle angle with the new setup cuz if i don't I'm gonna be really upset that i spent all that money...

 

Wall you can do is bolt them on and see what happens. The Rusty's springs may be longer. Won't know till you install them.

 

Yup, either way I'll still be happy with them because I'll get way more flex and a smoother ride. So if i have to get SRBs it won't be the end of the world lol thanks for your help!

 

This is the terrible shackle angle i have.

 

Holy ****. That's probably the worst angle I've ever seen...

 

Holy hell man that is bad. Try the new setup and worst case like low said, get the 0 lift relocators and it'll even out

 

Haha yeah i know right!!!!
