what shackles do you guys prefer to gain 2in in the rear? planning on going from 3.5 to 5.5. in front will be 5.5 springs, right now my shackle angle isnt good so might as well add 2 in lift with rear shackles or shackle/relo box combo..any suggestions on how to do this?

 

chevy lowering shackles... $30ish on ebay

 

I agree with that guy, if you don't want to wait to get them shipped you can usually pick them up at a local parts store. I just got 1-2" Chevy lowering shackles from my local advance the other day for around $30.

 

If you want correct shackle angle then you will want relocation brackets. Then maybe some RC/other adjustable shackles?

 

im sure there many different types of chevy lowering shackles..u gotta part number for the 2 in shackles?

 

I'm running the IRO 3.5" rear spring packs, RC Relocation Brackets, and JKS Boomerang shackles. Total of about 5.5-6" of lift. Great flex, great ride, perfect shackle angle, perfect pinion angle, no shims.

 

You could always make your own shackles with just a little time, there's really nothing to it. Thats what I'm doing as soon as I get around to getting some low profile shackle relocators.

 

They sell them at most auto parts stores you know them when you see them.

 

thanks man. also with these shackles, which are obviously longer than my stock ones, will that improve my angle? or is a relo box needed to change angle? i want a lift but at the same time have better angle

 

i'm running V8 ZJ springs with 2'' spacers up front and in the rear i have RC shackle relocation kit and RE boomerang shackles. i have almost 3'' up front and little over 3'' in the rear.

 

forgot i had this picture you can see the helper springs i didn't mention cuz my springs are so worn out they they put it back up to stock. but anywho you can see that my shackle angle is right where i want it at least and i can adjust it if i want.

 

are you aware that you are running your shackles backwards

 

well that's embarrassing...

 

no biggie. i've seen this happen a few times

 

lmfao!
