i ordered the HD shackle relocation kit today. then i put my chevy 52in springs on(im not sure wat there off of but they seem to stiff) it set my axle back 3in. but they dont have enough arch to them. i have adjustable shackles and to make the jeep set level the shackle is fully adjusted out and the spring and shackle sit to low. they will definetly get beat up and hung up being that low. im stumped on what to do about wat springs to run. i guess im needing a different spring with more arch so my shackle isnt adjusted out all the way and not so low. if i was to run mj springs would i need to order a lift spring or just stock springs? info would be greatly appreciated. ive been doing alot of reserach and cant seem to find wat im looking for.

I would find another set of Chevy springs and add them to what you have and see what happens

Any that are 2.5 wide will work fine, so s10, xj, wranglers, just keep adding the main leafs to your pack and you'll be set, its called a basterd pack most of the time they flex great too
