That is a crazy amount of lift for being the 3.5. You can NEVER go wrong with relocation brackets. In my opinion, do it once and do it right, support fabricators that support us, HD offroad engineering!! Best brackets ever.

My honest opinion would be to do a relocation. The boomerang is a fricken awesome shackle and I would stick with it unless you are gonna possibly stick to a smaller lift. Just my .02 cents I don't know much about this stuff just from my experience.
