Shackle relocation
So my shackle angle is retarded for lack of a better word. I've seen the DIY here but I can't source any 3x3 box steel here in Gainesville, FL.
Now for my question, any companies y'all would recommend to get shackle relocation brackets? I don't mind getting the extra lift, I'll just compensate with a coil spacer up front. Or if anybody is close to my relative area and knows where to to get the metal need that'll work too.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Better angle for sure. I'm running the IRO 6.5 inch long arm kit and shackles are literally vertically even with my boomerang shackles. I've yet to drive her on the road but I know it'll be a rough ride with such a poor angle.
Now I don't mind gaining some lift as I planned to do a coil spacer to account for the winch I'll be adding soon. And with all the gear/spare parts I bring off road the extra lift wouldn't hurt when fully loaded down with a full tank

If your shackle angle is vertical right now you might actually lose some lift once you give it a proper angle. You might want to consider the version with lift.
