Need help lowering my jeep!
 

I have relocation boxes a 2 in lift shackle and a 4 leaf pack and this thing will not go any lower.

I started with a 6 leaf pack with this crappy shackle angle. Fixed the shackle and took the xj main and xj 2nd leaf out to see if it would lower it. It didn't and now it's to soft. My spring arnt really arched much.

My drip rail is at 72in

Move the upper shackle bolt forward....

first of all you need to put the upper shackle bolt in the 2nd hole from the front so you can have a 45 degree angle. then go from there. or just raise the front up to match it.

When I said I fixed the shackle, that what I meant I did I moved it forward and made it a 45. Sorry for confusion.

That didn't lower it any

Opt for a shorter shackle? Return to stock or try a one inch?

I think what I'll do is make the shackle a 30 degree so when I build my bumper and add gear Itll be 45..

Ditch the relocation brackets and drill new holes for your existing shackle.


Longer shackles are a good thing, height is not.


recess that upper shackle bolt about an 1.5 in further up into your mounting area and move it forward to get your angle.

Sell the relocation brackets.

Run street tires :-P

I can't help you until you move the camera a few feet to the right and take another picture.

Love the rear fender work:thumbup:

Exactly what I am planning on.
