I think you might like these better, as you don't have to hack the back of your Jeep in half:

This is good info. I wish I would've known that it wasn't compaitble with stock shackles. My rear is already higher as is. In gonna have to rethink this one haha.

 

2012 thread ?

 

So?

 

Glad this thread got bumped from the dead. I recently installed RC Shackle Relocations and I'm having the same problem with the stock shackle hitting the bracket. I have the front lift leveled with the rear and I like the way it sits. I think I'm going to cut out the last two holes in the bracket and that should give me the clearance i need for the shackle clear.

 

Cut those last two bolt holes off. I did it. Worked great.

 

Will do. what shackle are you running? got any pics?

 

Ran stock shackles. Got a new phone and no longer have pics on this phone.

 

Stock shackles wouldn't work with hd no lift relocation brackets either.. fwiw

 

Here is HD standard

 

They were designed to work with stock shackles ( and lift shackles), but if your springs are soft you may experience some bump....

 

These look cool. I'd like to here some real world experience on these. No one ever talks about them.

 

If you do some searching, there should be a few threads on these (either here or over at NAXJA). From what I've read, the people who have taken the leap of faith and tried them have all been really happy with them. As far as I have personally read, I haven't heard of anyone coming back to shackles after getting sliders. For whatever that's worth.

 

I installed the RC relocators a couple of weeks ago as well. Gonna have to trim the unused holes off to allow full travel unless you're running a much longer shackle. Super easy job, it's uncomfortable to take a cut off wheel to a pricey new part, but just knuckle down and do it. Here's a pic of mine after modification, running the Rusty's .75 inch lift HD shackle.
