Default Shackle Questions?

I have a 96 XJ with a 3.5" Rustys lift kit. 1.5yr old. Running 31s. T/C Drop

Anyway. My driver side leaf spring blew a hole through it so Ive only got 2 leafs left.. Im getting replacement leaf packs and my question is on the shackles.
I wanna replace the shackles as well and would like to get grease able shackles to keep things from seizing.

I have stock oem shackles installed currently and I noticed the smallest size shackle I can get that is grease able comes with .75" lift.

Will that .75" lift throw my driveline off? Will I need longer shocks in the rear?

Just trying to figure out if its worth it..


Thanks.

The Iron Rock shackles are greaseable and offer 0" or .75" lift..
Hard to say if the pinion angle will rise enough to cause issues.

Define "blowing a hole through" a leaf pack. Do you mean cracked a leaf pack or your leafs went through the floorpan?
