I wish I could tell how much my rear springs will lift my truck without installing them. I don't wanna have to install parts then take back apart to add something

FYI from the center of wheel to bottom of fender flair is 15.5 so I'm sagging two inches from stock. Hopefully by putting on my shackles it will level out my truck.
Does anyone know how to tell how much lift my rear springs will give me off the truck? Any help would be awesome

You can get new springs for whichever height you need. Use JKS shackles. You'll be fine.

HDoffroadengineering.com Shackle relocation kit is great. It rides 10 times better and flexes 20 times better 87 XJ 7'' rear lift including relocation brackets. 4.5 Rustys leafs 3/4 shackle 1/2 degree shim I got 1.25 from the shackle relocation kit.

Well I called a couple companys regarding my springs I have. Most 4" lift springs have 5 leafs and mine have 6 leafs and rough country's 4" rear lift springs have a eye to eye measurement of 47 3/4 and 5 leafs, my springs eye to eye measurement is 48 1/2 and 6 leafs, so I got between a 4-4.5" custom leaf spring I built

I've been reccomending the relocation to everyone, expecialy those looking for less than 2'' of lift.

Rough country showed it on the rti ramp 10'' more travel on a stock rig. Can't go wrong. I have 4.5'' leafs and my angle is retarded. I cant wait to get relocation brackets.

I m puttin together a 3" rear set up consisting of 2" OME leafs, stock shackles, and the relocation brackets, in hopes something better than just a 3" leaf with stock shackles, well see how well this works!

iff al you are looking for is 3" is should be great. and a shackle will easily take you to 4.5" later....

I like the HD ones I have. I like how many adjusting options I have. I will admit the LII would work just fine for where i have mine set. but I like options.

HD- http://www.hdoffroadengineering.com/...relocation-kit
RC- http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xtras_1117.html
LII- shown above with 3 bolt location, could not find on sight but am tierd lol


You can also ditch shackles all together with slider boxes...

Sorry guys, they aren't on the site yet. Those pictured are and old design and actually have the wrong price on them for some reason.

They have 4 bolt locations and retail at $149.95. I will get them up on the site by the end of the week. In the mean time feel free to shoot me a call to order!

Thanks for the interest!
