Hey Everyone, Ive been gone from the forum for about 3 years. GLad I was able to log back in!

2000 Xj. 3inch Zone lift. Full leaf pack. ( Lift approx. 6 years old)
I am still running the stock shackle. The rear feels like a dump truck on washboard roads. It is sitting at 90 deg. I have read 45 is what you want. I spent so much time getting the front tuned in I neglected the rear. Until now. So, In order to achieve this 45 I am looking to build a relocation bracket. With this bracket do you run the stock shackle or aftermarket? I am looking for as little lift as possible. And, If I do wind up with an extra inch of lift is this going to just open a can of worms with brake line length, driveline stuff etc?
Thank you in advance!

 

Anybody?

 

You are going to get at least a 1.5" lift out of it if you build a bolt in style. Honestly, if you can, get the hd Off road no lift relocation brackets. You will get the shackle angle you want and a minor lift. Takes some work to put them in but 100% worth it
