Stock rear shackle with RC 4.5 spring pack problem
Let me start off by saying I have searched for an answer to this question and have not found a solution. I just completed installing a 4.5 RC X lift on my xj and the rear shackle on the leaf springs are angled towards the front. I left everything loose when it was lowered on the tires. I was told it would move back under the weight of the vehicle but it didn't. How can I get it to angle backwards? Thanks.

Well after putting some 60lb bags of concrete in the back and driving around the shackle has seemed to angle more towards the back. Looks like I just have to be patient and let it set in. Thanks for the replies.
