That's still a 90* angle, look at the relationship eye to eye of the shackle holes.

HD off-road had them for $100 shipped for a long time... There really isn't another option.

I will tell you that the boomerang shackles won't help angle, although they do allow for more flex and they work REALLY well with relo brackets. But if you are interested I am selling my 6 month old JKS boomerang shackles. $75 shipped. They are in great shape. I just need longer shackles

I was looking for suggestions mainly on angle. And shackles buy the looks of things aren't gonna help. Any one have experience with sliders? Theres someone local to me selling a set for 120 but need rebuild.

Guys. It doesn't matter what shape the shackles are. They could be a zigzag even. As long as they are fixed, and the eye to eye distance is the same, absolutely nothing will change.

Look up tera-flex revolver reviews. From what I hear they look good but are dangerous, something like "they unload going down-hill" or whatever that is. Too many degrees of freedom I guess.

The ideal shackle angle is 45*, right?

Don't do that. You can get these no-lift shackle relocators to your door for $100. http://www.hdoffroadengineering.com/...ation-brackets
