Default rc leaf spring question

I'm runing 4.5" rc leaf springs in the back and want to have some flex and a better ride my leafs put my shackles at a 90* and I would love to run rc's shackle relocation box, but since its my life and countless others I could hit I thought I would ask, do they do a good job, and are they strong enough to handle off roading and more... Thinks guys in advance

I don't have any first hand experience with them but I've read that they are great. Haven't heard of anyone having problems with them. They allow more flex and a better ride since the shackle angle can be adjusted. Hope this helps

RC shackle relocation boxes are an inferior and weaker design than the other two. HD engineering and liquid iron make the better ones
but it's all about what you can afford. I think it's worth a couple bucks extra to atleast get the HD engineering ones.
I got mine from liquid iron. Tim's an awesome guy to deal with

Yea I haven't herd anything bad myslef but I've heard there are better ways to do it, like some of the boxes use the hitch bolts too...
