I gather that my shackle angle is about as wrong as it can be which probably explains why my rear suspension feels like it is welded in place.

My nominal 4.5" lift is giving me 6" measured and I don't really want to go higher. Is there any way to fix the shackle angle without more lift or replacing the springs?

Lead Foot has a relocation bracket. Low profile, no lift. Check the vendor section.

On the app, sorry. Go to "for sale", "vendor". Title is "low profile relocation bracket"

having the same problem, except for the fact that my left shackle is at a different angle than the other and is about 1" higher in that corner...glad you started this thread. I have searched and have only come to the conclusion that you can move the upper mount forward. I honestly do not feel like doing that. I can't find any shackle relocation kits without adding at least 3/4"-1"...i hope someone else can chime in on this.

So far, Froelich is the only one I've seen that makes it.

I bought it like this.

I was going to say that it has a RC spring and nothing else but after thinking about it, the PO also installed Synergy replacement spring hangers.

I think this is because he somehow buggered up the stock ones. I don't think they are intended to change the geometry and they appear to be in the correct place as I measure them.

I think the springs have been installed for about a year but they have no miles on them. RC says they may settle an inch or so once I start driving it.

I believe he just started making them, so it's like a trial thing.
