Itll ride stiffer untill u get brackets. The leafa are correct. They will be the right length but itll be 90°. Brackets only add less than 1". Add another stock coil spring isolator to the front its .75"

Idk never heard of morris4x4. What height r u at. Brackets wont add much. Easily fixed in front with an extra isolator.

Oo your at 4.5" duh lol. Yea brackets will put you at 5". Deal with the stiffness. I do. Mines at 90° stock leafs with an aal in them and stock shackles. Mines rough. Im goin to 5" soon with just rc 1.5-2" shackles and 1.75" coil spacers. Mines stiff.

Mine were like that too at first. After a couple months (most notably after I added a rear tire carrier) the shackle now sits at the correct angle at 45deg toward the rear. The ride height is equal, front and back. And the ride was stiff as **** when I first got it (which was actually why I went with RC), added 150lbs of sliders and it softened up a lot.

Bracket should add another 1-1.5"...that's what i read.

I have shackle relocation boxes and I love them. Gives you the ability to move your shackle around and get the angle like you want. My rear end rides softer than the front with the shackle alittle closer to horizontal than 45 deg, id say more like 35-40 deg loaded, this gives me alot of down travel and handles on road loads well considering i'm at 4.5-5".

I do not have RC leafs, I have s10/dakota leafs

The difference was instant between when I didn't have the sliders on and when I did. LOL.
I don't have any pics wear you can see the shackle angle, they are short and the bumper is large haha. If you never have a heavy bumper/sliders, it will probably take you a while to get it to where mine's at and shackles are your best bet.
