Alright so my 96 has got 6.5" of rough country lift in the front, and only 6" in the back. You can kind if tell in the picture but it looks like it's squatting a bit, and I'm not liking it. I don't claim to be an expert on lifts, but I want to get that extra .5 to 1" so it doesn't look like it's taking s%*t in the woods anymore. I'm thinking about getting bigger shackles, but I don't even know for sure how big they make them. Looking for help, ideas, tips, or really anything that can help me get that squat out.

 

Take 1/2 - 1" out of the front.

 

If you ever decide to run a winch on the front keep it as is. It will even it out more. I ran the 6.5 RC long arm it on my XJ and it sat 1 1/2 inches high in the front. After a not so heavy bumper and winch it sat within 1/8 of an inch F/B.
