my rear shackle angles make me wanna puke and i cant decide if i want to get the RC relocation brakets that and and 1.5 in the rear cuasing me to have to get 2" poly spacers for the front. totaling my lift to 8" in rear and 7.5- 8" in the front. this also might cuase me to have to put shims in the rear to help with the added lift.

^^^NO IM NOT BUYING THESE ^^^

 

bastard pack wont fix your shackle angle

 

s-10 leafs are longer then cherokees and i already have 2" shackles but they are at like a 145 degree angle instead of a 45 degree angle give or take

 

I've heard the bastard pack flexes like crap.

 

Jesus, I just saw the poll results. Zero votes so far for the BP....

 

me to but i really dont wanna be at 8 inches of lift for a lot of reasons

mabye i could just take a leaf out and that will lower me back down

 

Bastard pack. You an use a 2nd set of xj leafs as well. I believe an additional xj main nets around 1-1.5"

 

Sounds like your at 5.5" of lift. Do you want to stay at that? Why not just get a fresh pack of leafs? Evaluate it then?
Maybe the 2" shackle is the root issue. If you were to do a 4.5" leaf pack, JKS shackle (.75"), T&T UBolt Eliminators.
That will keep you around your height.
For the front. There's always the ACOS. At least that's adjustable.

 

Build your own relocation boxes into the frame and stock boxes for 0 lift and perfect shackle angle

 

Are you saying using s-10 main and building the bastard pack below that? kinda gives me an idea

What are you exactly running in the rear right now other than 2" shackle?

 

There was a guy from naxja that used s10 leafs to extend the wheelbase.

 

This question confuses me. The purpose of a bastard pack is not the same as relocation boxes. Then the link you put up is for S-10 drop leaves?

If your shackle angle is bad you either need to run longer main leaf, (S-10's aren't going to work because it will shift your whole axle rearward.) or you need to run relocation boxes of some sort.

To use the S-10 leaves, which in itself is not a bad idea you would have to extend your brake lines, driveshaft and parking brake cables. A better option would be using a Ram Van main leaf and a boomerang shackle.

 

im at 6.5" now with 4.5 leaf 2" shackles

 

yea basicly

 

Coming from someone who bastard packed, don't.


And fyi as Outkast said, it won't help your shackle angle, because you're gonna use the XJ main.
