This was the reply I got back from Tim. Not sure how I'm supposed to space the boxes out further considering they slide up into the stock shackle box..We shall see.

Hi there Steven!
Apologize for the delay getting back to you. I have had a few other users with a similar issue in the past but it hasn't really been a common one. In the last 8 months or so we did a revision on the boxes which gives quite a bit more adjustment to relieve any alignment issues. The problem is that you are still bound by the shackle tie in. I have designed a way to solve that issue as well and hope to release it very shortly with the next batch.
I'm not sure when yours were purchased off hand, but the first thing I would do is try and realign the boxes a bit. It seems like pushing them out a hair will help resolve this problem. If you have an older design you may have to open up the mounting holes to do this.
Pulling the axle over to drop in the perch holes isn't very uncommon even with a shackle. Of course the shackle does not have the rubbing issue so it is never a real problem until you are running the sliders in the same position. The two solutions for this are to move the slider out or move the perch in.
Let me know what the adjustments yield and we can go from there. In the future for more urgent replies feel free to contact my sales team at sales@liquidironindustries.com. I am sometimes tied up on the shop floor and don't always get the office time I need!
Thanks again,

I think he is saying to oval out the holes in the slider box. Then you could slide the slider over a little, but without seeing them I could be wrong. If they were not bolted in is there room to slide them over or do they fit into a groove or something?

Even though I started this thread after recent build plans changing I am now going to get Hd no lift relocators and IRO boomerang shackles. A local friend though just got his sliders in the mail and man does the quality and beef look top notch.

My sliders had the same problem when i got them a few months ago.
I called them for help along with emailing and opened up the holes as directed, but still had the problem. I would definitely hold off on buying them until we know they are finally fixed. Really disappointed with these sliders.
If anyone has bought some recently, or has contacted this company, let me know. I really need to find a way to fix this problem

I think thats a wise choice. Sliders are nice when in the proper application, a lifted XJ IMO is not the proper application. Too many issues with alignment and binding with articulation.
