Has anyone installed Rusty's XJ Cherokee HD Rear Shackle Mount?

http://www.rustysoffroad.com/builder...kle-mount.html

I am about to put these in. I know I can do it, but if someone has install pics or ideas that may be better then my thoughts I would like to know. So please share!

 

So They come with a bunch of bolts for a no weld install but I think I would rather weld them in. It makes everything accessible so why not. Should be stronger and don't have to drill holes....

 

have to drill holes for the two bolts in the top that go thru the floor

and I'd do some welding on the box, as the ones in the pic look like they need more

 

Yeah I thought I would do the bolts on the bottom of the unibody and on the back where the bumper mounts. Then weld the hole for floor to the floor. Then go around and weld all the seams and edges together and to the frame/body whatever...

 

Don't see why you're complaining. All relocators are bolt on and some with cutting requirements. Looks good to me.

 

These are no loft relocations boxes?

 

Hey fannitti, not sure what you're asking. If it's no lift relocation boxes, yes and no. Its not a relocation but it is a new box for stock. Mine on one side wobble out one of the bolt holes. How? I have no idea I bought it that way. So thought about making my own boxes but rusty's had these and I wanted time over money.

Unidentifiedbomb, first off, weird name. Didn't like those kind of bombs in Iraq. Anyway wasn't complaining and apologies if it came over that way. Just was looking for if anyone has put these in and had pics or tips. I'm new to 4x4 jeeps always been a Toyota guy. Seems like everything has been done by somebody to a jeep. Plus when you think its right to do on every other 4x4 your jeep says nope I'm gonna make this hard...

Thanks for replys

 

I'm gonna try and remember to take pics as I go and post the install. Unfortunately when I get going I forget to document. Maybe if I say it three times I'll remember....

 

These are bolt in no gutting of the factory shackle box out correct I wanna see pic of these installed

 

You do have to remove the factory shackle box and let me tell you it's a pain. I drilled out the welds but as I use an air chisel to get the rest out some floor and unibody is coming with it. My only option is to continue and patch when I'm done. A day or two project I thought will take me a week....

 

Reminds of of HD no lift boxes that have been proven to be amazing. His are cheaper and a one man operation I believe. I would check them out if you want to go that route. More mounting options an a lot of feedback on them. You have to remove the stock box and bolt it up like the Rusty's product just with more mounting options and cheaper. https://hdoffroadengineering.myshopi...ation-brackets

 

Well I already bought the rusty's set of boxes so I'll stick with them. Looking at the instructions for the HD boxes I am cleaning up way too much metal. I just need to bolt these things in.

 

The description says they have adjustable shackle mounting holes. Its kinda noticeable in the pic if you look hard.
