I just checked my shackle angle for the heck of it. It's slightly back. Not straight, definitely not 45. It's stock. If I relocate the stock mount l may be able to gain a little travel. But it's got 10" now so that is plenty for the rear. Rides great. Don't know if it would be worth the effort.

Exactly like an RC lift I have an RC I totally wished I would've went a different route except for the coils they're pretty good but My shackle angle is vertical, you should see when I go over a speed bump it sucks! Never buying RC leaf springs again.

Okay noob question, that I kinda know the answer for. This is the PA on my girlfriends 98xj:
It vibrates a little on acceleration up until about 40mph.
Is this something I could resolve with some 2° shims?
Jeep doesn't and will never see anything more than a gravel road, so I'd rather not have to do and sye.

Haven't seen much on them except MT can't decide how much they weigh, and they have a 2ply sidewall
