Did you take out one of your pairs of shackles yet? If not you need to ASAP.

Jeeps arent show vehicles. The mud flaps are temporary for the winter until I weld my 2x6 sliders on that are sitting in the garage in the spring. Just trying to keep it from rusting because without them there, there would be a big hole for the salt/snow to sit inside my front fender.

And would the back end drop down if I take out the stock shackle? Do I need RC shackle bracket to relocate it?

That is how much clearence I have when turning and you can see what I cut off.

Do you have stock control arms? Looks like the axle needs to go forward, adding 2 mor inches of lift isn't going to solve that problem, it's gonna make it worse.
