Default Ok to run teraflex revolvers with shackle relocators??

Have a 96 xj
4. 5in leaf packs
And teraflex revolver shackles.

Wanna add shackle relocators.
Do I need to build some shackles as well?
Or will the teraflex still work fine and do the same thing.

I see no issues but someone brought it up so I figured I'd post it and see what you guys think

i never liked revolver shackles to begin with. i also dont see the need for them with shackle relocation brackets.

whats the point? either one of those alone would give you more flex than you know what to do with. i would ditch the revolvers and get an extended shackle.

Well I wanted the relocation brackets to give me lift in the back without getting leafs with high arches..

Trying to get like 1 1/2 inches in the rear. Reason to tuck 35s

Currently probly at 5 or so cuz leafs are a little worn and revolvers are supposed to add 1in lift.

Would you recommend shackles that long over relocation brackets
Or I cud do relocation brackets and replace revolvers with shorter shackles

Exactly. The point of moving the shackle mount is to gain down travel in the shackle. You already have that, relocating it forward isnt going to do anything.
I would ditch them and run an extended shackle with the relocation kit.

Why cant you fit a 35 with 5" of lift. I have no problem with 4"
