I want my XJ lower than it currently sits. I want around 4" as I do not want to remove, get rid of, my Synergy long arms up front.

Front:
Currie 9132 TJ Coils
Factory Coil Isolator
5/8 Poly Coil Spacer
Synergy Long Arms

Rear:
OME CS033RB Leafs
JKS Boomerang Shackles
HD Offroad Shackle Relocation Boxes (lift version)

I believe I should approach this from the back->forward as I can easily get different coils/spacers to match the rear.

In the rear, from my rough measurements, I'm coming up with the following:
-The shackle relocation boxes are giving me about 1-1/2 of lift as they lower the top shackle mounting bolt down by 3". Right?

-The shackles are giving me about 3/4" of lift. They are 2" longer than OEM shackles but are at a 25deg angle. As they currently sit, I can't move the top bolt forward or the angle goes TOO far and the spring hits the shackle.

-Because I'm at 6" of total lift with this combination, the leafs must be giving me about 3-3/4" of lift.

The CS033RB leaf packs have 5 leafs and an overload leaf. OME says to remove the 3rd leaf down to lower the lift a bit. From what I've read, that isn't going to drop the rear enough. Then, I thought about removing the 3rd leaf as well as the overload. This would leave 4 leafs and I'm not sure about that one.

Thoughts on this so far? Am I destined to get rid of the shackle relocators and go w/ a no-lift version? I'm frustrated.

I'd just do different coils, no lift shackle boxes, and shorter shackles.

That's what I've been going through in my mind but didn't want to take the hitch/shackle box/skid off just to redo it. Ugh. LOL.

I don't think there is anyway around getting rid of the "lift" version of the relocators. Oh well, live and learn.

That would seem to be the easiest and least costly way to go about it, or remove it all and sell, then start over again at height you want.

why are coming down from 6"? just curious. I'm at 4 and have the lift shackle boxes on hand, just not sure I want to be at that height

Its just higher than I need. I don't need to run 35s+, only want 33s. And, @ 6", my front axle really needs to have the Cs and spring/shock mounts rotated. I'd like to run a better pinion/caster angle and would like to run a shorter coil due to excessive bowing of the long coil/rotated axle.
