Default Help identify my shackles and leaf packs.

I just bought the Jeep last month and I have been fixing everything the previous owner neglected. It has spacers up front and pro Comp ES3000 shocks from what I know and I just installed new Rancho shocks in the rear due to a passenger side broken shock mount and damaged shock.

Can you guys tell me what shackles these are obviously the leaf packs are gone but can anyone tell if they are stock? I am looking at these as replacements and wonder what you guys think.

Thanks

This is what I have.

That is my factory rear. Its an inch higher than most so I think either tow package or up country. Probably toe package since it has the rear sway bar.

Your probably right. The build sheet for mine says "normal duty suspension". The spring below my main leaf starts about where the second one below your main leaf starts. His looks like mine but are kinda negative arched.
His shackles may be these. Right beefy:

I wouldn't mind having a new set like yours. Of course you'd need the coils to match.

May have the beefy springs but still sags like an old man when you put a boat on the back.

You may have the hitch but do you also have the trans cooler and heavier springs and rear sway bar?

So I am guessing the HD rear packs would be okay? The front does sit higher than the rear by an inch from wheel center to fender. That is what made me look and I noticed the packs were flat. I just didn't know if they were stock and I just had spacers in th front or if the rear packs had an AAL.

Maybe it was just the upcountry that came without it. That's like 3 inches of rear sag. The bumpstops got worked at every pothole.

Mine measures at 7.5" from axle to frame in the front and 7" in the rear
