Your shackle isn't bottomed out on the back of the bucket is it?

Is there any benefit to LCAs with a bend in them? Like the IRO ones? Is it supposed to be like CA drop brackets, in making the angle better?

Yea I'm just shopping around compiling a list for a bastard of a lift kit.
I'm shooting for 3" lift with ride quality in mind. I don't think CA drop kit will help me...
On the list thus far
OME leafs
OME coils
OME Nitros or possibly Bilsteins
JKS shackles
Non disco sway bar links (RE?)
New Poly bushing for sway bar.
LCAs, undecided
IRO track bar
Some kind of non y link steering might build that myself.
I just want the sucker to ride good and not be stock height. I got a 91 that's for wheeling!

Yeah, but figuring in the fact that the leaves should settle some it's alot better than I've seen on some. He said they were 4-5 inches short. I figured they were going to be -45*.
Honestly, with stock shackles, It's hard to get 45* without them bottoming out.
