My shackle angle is at a vertical 90 degree angle. My lift specs are 3.5" with 3.5" leaf springs, and a stock shackle in the back. In order to fix shackle angle, would i be better off going with a boomerang shackle or a extended shackle, keep in mind i dont really want to add too much more lift. I was looking at the Rustys .75 Shackle and the JKS Boomerang Shackle.

Most of the Standard shackle relocation brackets will add .75-1.5" of lift. I am in the process of designing some that will net no extra lift. But they are not released yet.

HD offroad brackets are the way to go, i got them and they are pure beef. The RC brackets are junk imo, they have no form of sideways support and over time will pretty much rip the shackle box off of the unibody, The pic is of my friends xj with the rc brackets, look for yourself...

We have been doing some brain storming and this is what we have come up so far for a Low Profile Shackle Relocation Kit. There isn't anything else like this on the market that we have found so far, so we are starting this idea from scratch. Of course like expected, most of the existing shackle box will have to be cut out. Let us know what you think, your contructive feedback is always appreciated.
