I would if I was you. Pretty sure I’m going to get some for mine. I also want the no lift ones.

Damn never received shipping notifications or anything and was told it was on back order. Oh well it’s here.

Jeepology

Sye?

Also another vote for the HDO no lift

Acerwin

What kinda shackles are those? I’m pretty sure I need to replace my shackles while I do the shackle relocation

Jeepology

Boostwerks. A little pricey as far as shackles go, but he offers a DIY kit as well which saves some cash.

Takes stress off of parts being able to rotate a little. Won't give an incredible amount of flex vs standard boomerang shackles but with 40s you will probably want to relief stress as much as possible. Plus with the HD No lift brackets you'll be adding a much much stronger shackle box than the factory sheet metal box.

Dang if they didn’t add extra lift in the rear I’d be all over them. Looking for some that doesn’t add lift.

Acerwin

This is true. That’s one reason I’ve been looking into them.

Ed is gonna make a cross brace under the Jeep for the shocks. Gonna make them like this / \. Hopefully that cross brace will stiffen the rear some also. Only doing this for now until I 4 link the rear.

What leaf springs are you using? You can keep it pretty low with those shackles and using the upper holes. What other shackles did you have in mind?

Acerwin

Rough country 4.5” and not sure about shackles haven’t really looked into it yet. Was gonna see how it performed with what I got for now.

Don't think you'll notice much in the upper mounts as they're higher than the stock mounting so you might get a little lift if that. I'm running JKS boomerang shackles and love them, low lift (like 1-1.25") and very stout.

Jeepology

Agreed with this. I don't think you'd notice any more lift with these than any other shackle out there unless you planned to use stock or very short shackles. Maybe swap your springs if you want to go lower. I started with 4.5 as well and ended up swapping them for 3.5.

Also, keep in mind, you have to use specific shackles or they will rub the relocation boxes on full compression. I am running the Core 4x4 adjustable shackles with mine and they rub. They actually limit my up travel. This is my fault for ordering them too short (about 1.5" shorter then the BWE). I am going to get the BWE shackles next and put them in one of the top holes to hopefully not get any more lift then I am at now.

For a comparison, I am using the same shackle mounting hole as Jeepology posted, RE 3.5" leafs with one leaf taken out and it sits exactly at a 4.25" lift.

BWI Shackles are designed to work with the HD relocators. They made sure they were designed perfectly for them.
