Looks for pics of a lifted xj with shock shackle box with boomerang shackles. I have A 4.5 lift with full leafs and shackles hit the body and my buddy gave me a set of boomerang shackels to install. I know it's gonna lift it more that fine I wanna see what they look like if they are still going to hit the body or not. I will be adding a spacer or bigger coil up front to make up the lift that it will need

 

Only pics I have are not on it's own weight. I'll try to snap some pics tomorrow...

 

Yea looks good

 

I'd like to see it with its own weight on it

 

The purpose of longer-than-stock boomerang shackles is to allow more fore-aft movement of the shackle, required for lift springs, especially 4.5" springs. The bend in shackle helps avoid contact with chassis. The bumper bolts are a different story and may require trimming. These are Clayton 3-way shackles on BDS 3.5" leaf springs, total lift = between 4.5 - 5". Divide added height of shackle by half, for ballpark of lift height that will be added to jeep.

 

Thanks, Steve...here's mine FWIW...RE boomerangs

 

I got rustys full 4.5 leafs and iron rock shackels I want to add should be good?

 

Looks like the IRO shackles add 1-1.5" of lift. You should be okay if you level the front...either new springs or a spacer. Make sure your shocks have enough travel, that your brake lines lengths are sufficient, and hopefully your pinion angle is ok. Do you have shims or an SYE installed?

 

I have a sye and drive shaft. Shims I got that came with the lift might have to be changed tho. Also I was gonna do the shackels see how much lift it gives and order springs. Brakes lines I'm good. I'm wondering if I should ditch the stock pitman arm for a RE one

 

The drag link and track bar need to be parallel to prevent bump steer and other issues. I used a drop pitman arm when I installed a double shear track bar with drop bracket.

 

 

Boomerangs give you clearance to the bumper/bdoy, but don't change the shackle angle sadly.

Those shackle angles don't look any better than stock.....how does it ride ?
