A simple write up of the parts I bought from Leadfoot.

I recently installed the regular shackle relocation brackets on my 96. Install hit a few snags but end result was worth it. Ride is smoother on bumps. Haven't got off roading yet (need to install cross over steering and replace ps pump)

The first picture shows were the nut on top of the bracket was hitting the jeep rear crossmember.


Some quick grinder work fixed the issue.




Before



After (I have since moved the shackle back 1 hole to level my jeep out)


Overall the parts are beefy. The laser cuts are spot on. I was having issues lining up the bolts on the first side I did, but that's because the rear nut the bolts the new shackle mount was hitting the jeep body and pushing everything out of line. As soon as I realized that it was cut out and smooth sailing the rest of the install. Getting the shackles in was a little harder than when putting then into the stock location because the new bracket is so precise.

Can't wait to install the rest of the parts I got from FST. Cross over steering and a track bar. Very stout pieces of hexagon stock

 

Thanks for the info man. Waiting on mine to ship out.

 

The ones I got are not the low profile. They are the "regular" style.

 

Roger that :-)
