Anyone fab or know if there's a standard shackle bracket for the rears?
Just wondering if anyone has thought about using or fabbing a bracket for using a standard shackle?
Looking at using a boomerang style shackle for the rear, and I like the idea of relocating the hanger position for better angle. Just curious if or why anyone doesn't change it to a standard even plate shackle.??


Thoughts??

So apparently this hasn't been done or there just aren't opinions on it.
Going to need some better weather for it, but I'm going to see what it takes to fab in some bolt in brackets that have a more forward standard shackle mount. This should put a better angle on the shackle for ride quality, as well as open up the shackle options. I don't want much more lift than I already have, so a stock length boomerang shackle will be my choice.


Based of other shackle relocation brackets or the DIY tips for them, I think this will be pretty simple to FAB with some DOM tubing and flat stock. I'll just need to get the placement of the tubing correct to suit my shackle angle preference. about a 35* angle is what I'll be shooting for.

Here's a no lift shackle relocation box if that's what your looking for. http://hdoffroadengineering.myshopif...ation-brackets

I'm thinking something more like this: https://www.mountainoffroad.com/fron....html?___SID=U
Looking to use just a standard straight plates (angled back) . I used these shackle hangers on my YJ when I stretched it using XJ springs and stock YJ shackles.
