I'm starting to think of what to do with the rear of my xj but I have no plans for a lift but would like to increase flex and ride..

I currently have new stock springs, Bilstein shocks and 1" Boomerang Shackles. I have also added a tomken gas tank skid, solid axles diff. cover and have plans for a truetrac since I have an ARB front and I would like a posi-rear for snow, ice and wet roads.

Would there be any advantages of adding shackles relocation brackets with my current set up?

Is there a kit for rear sway bar disconnects?

What other options would you suggest for the rear of the vehicle?

rear sway bar??? Take it off. Then maybe find a no lift shackle relocator.

What is the advantage and would it be a consideration on a no lift vehicle, that's what I'm trying to find out.

aka"dude"

not a no lift. but should have an even better out come for you because you already have longer than factory shackles. Or get these and lift 1.5" or so up front and have a mean Low COG little rig. I would love to have be sitting on 35's right now with 4" of lift but my budget.... you know....

Does that any more lift to the rear? They didn't say.....

Go with a no lift style relocation bracket. Using a regular bracket adds an 1" of lift and get stretch and bend leaf springs.

A relocation bracket helps shackle angle. When I had stock springs, extended shackles and relocation brackets, I had some great flex with the rear tires. Looked dumb as hell cause the leafs were bending some and any weight would bow the leafs. So happy I don't run that setup no more

Any suggestion of a no lift style bracket?

These are the best no lift relocation brackets. Does require some drilling and plating in the cargo area though. http://hdoffroadengineering.myshopif...ation-brackets

Thank you for the direction.....I'm reading up on them now. It seems as if this will be a great addition to my build.

See the key to my build is I'm doing a sleeper rolling on 29's but with an arb front, detroit rear, front sway bar disconnects, good under vehicle protection, frame stiffeners, and the best flex & articulation I can get.

I want that did you see that guy in that stock Cherokee...

Eh, go 30s in that case If you don't wanna trim or lift.

this is before shackle relocation boxes 4.5" on 35s

this is after shackle relocation boxes same leaf pack longer shackles and jeep is now at 5" on 35s all home built.

and rear had more travel to go as seen in this picture
