No. Look that the relationship between the rear leaf spring eyelet bolt and the upper shackle bolt.
Ultimately, the leaf spring isn't long enough. (They get that way when you arch them so damn much)
The only way to fix this is to A) add brackets or B) replace the springs.

Well, technically if you replace those shackles with the stock ones it will lower your Jeep by 1.5 inches. But your shackle angle will be even worse. So if you are looking to just lower the Jeep and dont care about the geometry and and ride quality that would be the cheapest way. Dont buy RC drop brackets. They sell us a shi%#y product and then we throw more money at them to get the relocators to fix a problem that should not have existed in the first place. Get HD if anything. You could also remove one of the leafs from the leafpack to lower it a bit.

Not really.
Build a box that fits in your shackle 'box'. Tie that box in to the holes for the hitch and make tabs with adjustable holes for the shackles.
Like the picture of Eric's Jeep.
