Anyone ever doubled their shackles? The ones I have now are cheapie universal adjustable. I was wondering if I could put a pair of stock shackles in the hole for 1.5" lift to act like revolverI know Toyota guys do it.

similar to revolver shackles from what I am getting. generally frowned upon by guys that like predictable suspensions in the cherokee world. there are a lot of threads that you could read for peoples experience on them

Dont do it. it is not worth it. a properly set up lift shackle will preform to all of your needs.

i would recommend a shackle relocation box

Would boomerang help the angle? I'll probably do the relocation but I'm curious.

boomerang shackles only help with clearance issues. the pivot points are still the same... (draw a line between mounting bolt and leaf bolt)
