If you get the relocators you dont need a longer main leaf. and you will get that angle anyways because you put the shackle more towards the front.

i would also reccomend raising the rear lower shock mounts if you value clearance and not breaking them off.

they arent bolted, just welded. gets the job done

this is at full droop. i might shorten my shackle eventually.

If you're looking for shackle relocation brackets check these out. Much beefier than RC and bolt to the frame as well as the shackle box not just the box like RC.
