Default want a better ride/better shackle angle

as the title says I want to improve my shackle angle to get a better ride and better flex as well. but my issue is I don't want the rear getting lifted up any higher or dropped any lower. most shackle relocation brackets lift up the rear end so what are some other options? I was thinking maybe the shackle slider boxes.

any input guy's?

It's been covered multiple times. Look into HD Off Road no lift relocation brackets or FST, but people seem to be having issues with them according to posts, or LII sliders.

Here's a post from the other day in the vendor forum. Looks like it's right up your alley. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f10/no...r-door-174074/

I'm in the same boat. I've got a near vertical stock shackle after installing an RE 3.5" full leaf pack.

Looking at getting the LII shackle slider boxes or the HD Offroad no lift brackets.
