stock size shackles
I want to lower my jeep. The previous owner put a 5.5" IRO critical path long arm kit on it and he ordered the lift with 4.5" coils up front and they sent it with 3.5" leafs in the rear and a set of 2" shackles. the rear end sat way to high so he put a 2" coil spacer up front to level the jeep out. I added a shackle relocator which gave me around 3/8" lift in the rear. I now want to go with a set of stock or maybe 1/2" lift shackles so I can pull the front coil spacer. Does anyone make a set of shackles similar to what I'm looking for? Will going with a shorter shackle hinder flex much?
Thanks for the help.

My leafs are 3.5" and I'm looking for no more then about 4 to 4.5", I think with a little longer then stock shackle and the relocators I have now I would be right where I want to be. I just found the IRO shackles that are stock or .75" over so I might try them just looking for some more input.

I just got a set of 33's put on it today and I need to do some trimming and some bump stops and as of right now I unfortunately need the extra height. I'll let ya know but we can surely do a trade if I dont need them.
