Default Relocation box

So I got my relocation shackle boxes in and I can't get the angle good. I'm using stock shackles but I ordered a set of iron rock boomerang shackles. The bolt for the shackle and leaf is hitting the box. Any suggestion where I should put the new shackle in location?

what brand are your relocate brackets? it appears you are on the right track with the boomerang shackles... a longer shackle of some type is needed, unless you can re-position to one of the lower bolt holes. Are you concerned about adding more lift?

Those are the HD Offroad no-lift brackets.

OP, I would just wait until you get the new shackles in. Relocation brackets never work out well with stock shackles.

Finally came in now I can install them and fix my issue. Havnt been driving the jeep because the bolts is hitting the mount. Should I install these where I have had them installed the first time? U can see the markings on the relocation box.

Yeah I would try that first but you might have to adjust from there depending on what height you want and the angle and whatnot.

This is the same setup I would like to run. How much, if any, lift did it add?
