I know nothing about leave spring or shackle angle.I bought my xj already lifted im asuming it has a bastard pack because they look wide ( 2.5 " ) and dont have straps holding them together.im wanting flex but no lift.is there any up grades i can do or anything i can change? How about relocators?is my shackle angle right for flex?thanks for any advice.















Sorry for the sideways pics..im using moble app.

 

low COG ftw. lots of good ways to achieve low lift but lots of droop. ill see if i can find a thread for ya

Thanks ,,alot of good stuff there.im going to have to look into relocators for a different shackle angle.

 

If you want good flex with no more lift, here's what I'd do...good adjustable track bar, my stock track bar would bind and prevent flex where my RE track bar doesn't bind. New lower control arms with a bend in them, to keep from hitting the bracket on the axle and preventing droop. UCAs wouldn't be bad either, I like my RE Superflex uppers. Longer shocks and extended brake lines next, take the shocks off, flex it out, and measure for the extended and collapsed lengths you need, then buy accordingly. Dont just buy shocks for the amount of lift you have, they will probably limit your travel. For example, I'm running 4.5" lift shocks on my 1.5" lift, because the extended and collapsed lengths were what I needed. And most importantly, lose the sway bars.
That's how I've got mine setup, at 1.5" lift, bumpstopped to keep the tires from rubbing, and it has enough droop to unseat the coils. Not bad for a pieced together budget built short arm suspension imo.
Here's a general idea of what it will do, although its not flexed out as much as it can in this pic.



Like I said, its not flexed out in that pic, but probably the best pic I've got. It will unseat a coil before it picks a wheel off the ground.

 

Well my front flexes good now but maybe longer shocks would help.ive already ditched sway bars and have bent lower control arms..im wondering about my shackle angle..its not suposed to be 90 degres is it

 

Shackle relocation brackets and longer shocks. Try googling them and you'll find a lot of info.
