Default Opinions on H.D. Engineering shackle relocators?

So I have some money to spend on my XJ.

And I have been wanting relocators for awhile now, my shackle angle is straight up and down.

And I have seen a how to thread on HDE relocators so I'm borderline about to order a set just want to be sure I'm making a good choice? haha

bought them to fix my angle a few months ago... Painted em and had them in in under 45 minutes.... Requires a little coaxing to get it in the original shackle location but no more than a few taps with a hammer but it's good to be a tight fit....great purchase for a good price it's definitely worth it

Got-em

Love them. Tone of adjustment holes.

Great customer service. Received them three days later. I got the no-lift model. They are beef!

Been running them for over a year and love them although I need longer shocks now since they added a good bit of droop.

They are great. The best relocation boxes out there. I had them on my last xj and just ordered a set for the current xj. Plus if you ever want to run longer springs you are able to move the box back another 5".

With the no lift brackets has anyone noticed if they did actually lift the rear end? Thinking about doing them with a set of Iron Rock Offroad boomerang shackles. Just wondering wth this combo if I will need to install a spacer or maybe some ACOS?

i have the regular ones but when I was looking at the no lift ones originally I noticed they actually mount at the same height of the factory hole so no there wouldn't be any lift( assuming your shackle angle is set correctly)
Pm him... He's a vendor on here
