Shackle relocation lift too high
Hey guys,
I originally did a bastard pack, and I got about 2.5" of lift. Matched with some spacers up front.
Now I got some ZJ coils, and expect I'll go up about another inch.
I want to do shackle relocation brackets, which should add about that inch, but I think I read that I need extended shackles to go with the relocation, otherwise Ill bind.
Any way to do relocations/shackles without going up more than an inch? Also at 3.5" I'm pressing my luck with the Slip yoke. Don't have the money to invest in an SYE/shaft right now.
Thanks, lemme know your thoughts!

I might be off on those brands but there is definitely a way to only go up an inch like you want. More travel too

You're right, HD offroad makes the no lift relocation bracketry.
You could go with the .75" lift shackles.
Although the longer the shackle, the more down travel you can gain, to a certain point.

I have the IRO adjustable boomerang shackles. Greaseable with 1" to 1.5" of lift. They are well made and work very well in the stock bracket location.
