Cool I have never even seen a set in person. Seeing as I don't want any more lift I imagine they will flex better than SRB and a slightly longer shackle.

I just received my LII Sliders the other day. I am hoping to get them installed this week and when I do I will post pictures and my thoughts of them. Looking at them initially I can say they seem very beefy, excellent machining quality and very good welds.

XJmike, what OME leafs do you have? I've got the CS033RA which put me at 5" lift at the rear axle, so I am planning on removing the leaf like ARB suggests. Which leaf did you remove? I know ARB says to remove the 3rd leaf, however on my pack it almost looks like the 2nd leaf was the "factory addition" leaf.

I'm not 100% sure on the part number. If I can find the invoice when I get home I will let you know. They are 4.5'' leafs though and I removed the 3rd leaf from the top.

I got the CS033RA springs on about a month ago, and have been wheeling twice with them, still at a pretty sturdy 4.75". I've got them paired with some OME 60053L Nitrocharger Sport shocks. At the moment, the ride is a bit on the stiff side, and higher than I was expecting.

I am planning on removing the 3rd leaf as well, and it just seemed strange that the 3rd leaf was the same "style" as the 1st, 4th, and 5th, and the second leaf had a different taper and no anti-friction spacer or whatever is in between there.

Alright, I'm glad that I'm not too crazy. I'll probably contact ARB tomorrow to confirm. I'd for sure like not not have to remove the springs more times than necessary.

XJmike, what did you do to lift your front end up? I've currently only got ZJ springs under there (about 1.5" lift), and I'm not at all crazy about spacers. The XJ looks like a drag Jeep with mud tires on going down the road.

I got the whole OME kit from Dirk at DPG. I only got 4.5 leafs because the 3.5 were on back order. The front is coils and a spacers.

I want to install a shackle relocation box but my RE springs already gave me an 1" higher lift than I was looking for. What to do what to do

I don't have the fab skills / space for the HD offroad no lift relocation.

Put more weight in the back so the springs flatten out and push your shackles to a better angle!

You don't have the space for brackets?

What does your shackle angle look like?

I bet your shackle is at 90* or close.
