Putting shackle relocation kit on
Can I just jack it up and put the axle on stands or does it need to droop? Cause I don't know where to lift jeep from other than axle

you'll need to take the weight off the suspension, as your unbolting the rear of the leaf springs. Jack it up by the axle and put jack stands on the "frame" rails.

My welder is down. Is it safe to drive like 10 miles with only the 1 bolt. I think so. It's all factory used might wiggle a little.

On my jcr shackle bracket I didn't have to re still or drill anything to begin with. It was a pain to get things lined up and get in there to tighten some but it's doable with only hand tools.

I have a renix. I made it work. It's way smoother. I might go back to the third hole back when I get new shackles. Mine are ghetto.
