Default What shackles clears srbs?

What's up fellas
So I've installed the hd off-road no loft relocation brackets...
I've been having problems with the shackles coming in contact with the srbs...
Does anyone know what shackles would be best to not get in contact with the brackets?

Here's is a current set up with the brackets and jeep Comanche shackles
If I move them from the bottom they contact the brackets with out having to flex and every other hold seems to get in contact with the brackets...
Should I cut them?

U could also use the lower holes. If u use the correct one you will get the clearance with a good angle and not net you much extra lift.

I tried using the lower holes and it gave me a stiffer ride because it would make contact with the brackets...
I had the re boomerang shackles that didn't make contact but they were giving me too much lift for my taste,well back to my original height when I was with the stock box and shackle...
I wanted to lose some lift and have comfortability while being flexed out/in motion for a better ride

Give Brian @ HDOF a call. He can point you in a good direction. Those boxes are definitely not meant to used with stock shackles whether they are xj or mj.

Sub'd.

I'm interested in which shackles work best with the no-lift brackets as well.

The boostwerks look like a great setup. Are they worth the coin? Can't seem to find anyone that's been running them with an opinion?

Yes they are worth it. I know someone who had them. Very smooth thru the articulation and almost worked like a 4 link. I just bought a pair myself with the no lift brackets. Im in the process of redoing my rear suspension so it works flawless like my front.

You seem to be running the stock shackle, the problem youre running into is the length needed to clear the relocation brackets.

You should clear fine with most aftermarket shackles as long as they are longer.

Should have some photos of my setup this weekend.

Obviously this is on the lower holes, but here's with the BW shackles

I'll call him and see what he suggests, but I wanted others experience before I did that...

The current shackles are mj stock shackles
I had the re boomerang shackles but it netted me back to my original height which was 2" higher in the back...

Here's a pic with the re boomerang shackles
