So I got my relocation shackle boxes in and I can't get the angle good. I'm using stock shackles but I ordered a set of iron rock boomerang shackles. The bolt for the shackle and leaf is hitting the box. Any suggestion where I should put the new shackle in location?

what brand are your relocate brackets? it appears you are on the right track with the boomerang shackles... a longer shackle of some type is needed, unless you can re-position to one of the lower bolt holes. Are you concerned about adding more lift?

Those are the HD Offroad no-lift brackets.

OP, I would just wait until you get the new shackles in. Relocation brackets never work out well with stock shackles.

Finally came in now I can install them and fix my issue. Havnt been driving the jeep because the bolts is hitting the mount. Should I install these where I have had them installed the first time? U can see the markings on the relocation box.

Yeah I would try that first but you might have to adjust from there depending on what height you want and the angle and whatnot.

This is the same setup I would like to run. How much, if any, lift did it add?

Non if any lift it just leveled it out. The rear springs settled and this picked them up like 1/4 inch
