Rear leafs, boomeang shackles, relocators.
 

Alright so I recently finished my lift. The front is about 6.5-7 and the rear is near 8 inches . The rear has the hd rubicon express 5.5 springs with stock shackles. Whenever I hit a bump, it throws the shackle back and hits the unibody. Sitting on level ground it's about a centimeter from the body. It gets very annoying and probably doesn't flex decent as well as giving a ridiculous amount of lift.

My question is would shackle relocators help this situation without providing any lift?

Or am I faced with gettin 4.5 leafs with rubicons boomerang shackle?

I originally bought the 5.5 springs and when you pair them with the shackles, it's like 9" of lift.

Or would it be better to have relocators, the boomerangs and 4.5 leafs?

I would like to be 6.5-7 inches. Or the least not go any higher. These springs will probably sag another half inch at most.

Any opinions or experiences ?

After installing my RC 4.5 leafs the shackle was exactly at vertical. After installing the relocators and setting the stock shackle at 45 degrees the gained lift was 3/4in. So thats my situation. I know your setup is different but as far as gained lift after relocating the shackle should be very similar. Just be aware that your stock shackle will hit the sides of the relocator under compression, so you will have to trim the relocator rearward of the shackle or get longer shackles. Thats my first hand experience.

Relocation brackets will lift the rear more.

Boomerang shackles are your best option.

Need a link or 2?

No it's fine, i just wanted some opinions on this because it's annoying having avoid bumps in a lifted jeep haha
