Relocation bracket would be nice...not necessary though. A nice pack and a shackle will do fine

 

found a picture of my kickass blocks in my build page.. ha


alright, im just curious.. if a relocation bracket will help with the leaves flex, i want em.. trying to do it right

i was on a budget from hell when i lifted the jeep.. drop brackets, tie rod, coils, sway bar drops, bigger sway bar(front), blocks, 2 blown rear shocks, and 2 rough country front shocks.. oh and a set of mix matched 31s , i mean like.. 1 super swamper, 1 road queen tire, and 2 ATs lol, only spent $200

i would seriously rather just get a good lead pack, and whatever other parts in combination to get the 3.5" lift in the rear, and do it right.. or as right as $500 can currently get it lol

 

Don't feel bad
3 months ago I had stock shocks, 3 inch pucks, and 3" blocks.. and 32s

Now I have re coils and leafs...and a custom built 3 link...13" travel shocks and 35s lol.

Big.upgrade

 

hell yea, biiig upgrade, any chance you know what the right length bump stops would be for 35s? i have 33s on my jeep atm

 

any suggestions on component manufacturers? or how much if any does a relocation kit give? im hoping to find 3" leafs, no lift relocations, and a .5" shackle.. gonna go with whoever has the most leafs in the pack i guess. not so sure about what size bumpstops i'll need for 33s either

 

You'll want to find the sweet spot on your shackle length. If you run a short shackle, you'll cut down on your articulation due to the shackles being so short that they don't do much more than pivot where they sit. That being said, if they're too long... among other functional problems they look really stupid. It sounds like you're pretty dead set on the 3" leaf packs, but as some others have mentioned, 2" packs and a 1.5" shackle would be a strong set up with potentially more articulation.

 

i would run a 2inch leaf HD shackle relocation brackets and jks boomerang shackles

 

I will most likely be using the HD Engineering relocation brackets as well.

 

Do it you will be happy

 

This is where i'm at on leafs so far.. For OME stuff $112 a piece dosent seem to bad.





Yeah i dont mind the idea of extended shackles but i dont want super extended shackles.. Whatever combination gets me at 3.5 in the back

 

Don't forget to add the costs of bushings to the old man emu leafs
