would you happen to remember the how far from the bottom and side the hole for the main mounting bolt is? (the hole that the shackle originally bolted to)

 

I will measure it tomorrow for you.

 

You think putting the shackle in the holes closer to the front of the jeep resulting in a 20-30* shackle angle would lower it?

I'm not trying to gain lift,and I would bumpstop before the leafspring bottoms out on the body.

I'm just thinking I can get more droop at a 20-30* shackle angle without gaining lift

 

In my case, moving the shackle forward caused the shackle to hit the mount when the springs flattened out so that is why mine are where they are. I cannot say what it would do with your configuration sorry.

 

Nice work, gotta add this one to my list instead of spending over 100 to buy them

 

Hey boss what size is that angle you used? 2x2x? 3x3? 4x4?

 

Nicely done! I'm definitely gonna build a pair!

 

Angle i used is 2x2 because thats what I had in my scrap pile!

 

If you could that would be great. I would like to make a set of these down the road someday.

 

Nice job. I made some from a stock yj front bumper lol. Almost two years still going strong

 

You sir is the reason why we are all hear!

 

I believe the hole was 1 5/8" from the end and from the bottom. I used a 5/8" drill bit to give myself some extra room in case it was off a tad. The bumper brackets need to come off to install the mount but can be reinstalled afterwards. The bolts interfere with installation.

 

Nice job!!!!! Iv been thinking of building some but I just haven't got off my *** and done it.

 

Nice. Did the 3x3 box fit into the original shackle box without modification? I didn't think that XJ shackles were 3 inches wide... therefore I would have thought that 3x3 tube would be too wide to fit in the stock shackle box?

 

Fits like a glove. Just had to tap it in with a hammer, and literally tap not like I had to wail on it or anything.
