i have a 95 cherokee, i am looking at doing the shackle relocation brackets, but which ones are better. i was planning on rc but i just read a thread on
naXJA that they are not bolt on for a renix, is that true? 95 is renix correct

 

RC sucks. I got mine from liquid iron industries. they work great and it's a good company but I'm not very happy with the product. I would go HD engineering

 

is it best to run these with a lift shackle?

 

yes otherwise it's kind of pointless. I run mine with a 5" shackle

 

Can you elaborate on why you're not happy with their product? Thanks.

 

I wouldn't say they're pointless if not running a lift shackle. I'm looking at using them to run a longer leaf spring and try to keep my lift low.

 

i'm planning on running a 3" leaf, relocation brackets and 1"-2" shackles for a total of 5.5 to 6in of lift, but i dont have the cash for 3"springs right now so for a few months im gonna have to run my 4.5"springs with the relocation brackets and stock shackles

 

They ran the welds so the brackets point inward. They are designed to fit stock shackles so I had to grind the bushings down on the afternarket ones I bought. then had to grind them even more because they ran the welds. Just an all around pain to deal with. Idk if HD makes theirs the same way but I'd take my chances with them.

 

is the flex gain worth the money

 

These brackets added almost 2" of lift for me. Don't forget to factor that in

 

hd said 1.5 if you keep a the same angle, my angle will be going from 90 to 4 so i'm looking a 1-1.5"

 

i love my HD ones they fit perfectly in my 95 and they're beefy. my after market shackle needed no trimming and everything went together perfectly. i highly recommend them.

 

also i dont think 95 is renix. mines not anyways.

 

Not sure if this was directed at me, but I'll be building bastard packs again for my next setup. I had good luck with the bastard pack I'm currently using, which is an xj/xj setup with very little arch. So no problem getting my lift as close to what I want with a little tuning, it'll probably just take a bit longer than buying aftermarket springs.

 

90 and older is renix....
