In the OP's post #6 the shackle box is definitely bent!

Eyeballed the shackle boxes and they look fine. Not sure yet if there's contact marks at the rear of the spring. I'll get moreYep, I was the person who first noted that image. But I still wonder about the camera producing a distorted image. Unless he's already decided to install an SRB, would be somewhat of a waste of time to cut out a good shackle box.
Thanks. I found the HD so will read installation online. Will the OEM stuff need repair before using the no lift shackles? I'm guessing both sides will look the same but it's 5* and I ain't going out there.
Was just going to check the junk XJ to see the shackles, not pull the parts. Getting a rear seatback to build a cargo platform since my rear seat is rarely used - a topic for another day.

How about these at 0.75"? Or the 1.5" version?
Just enough to clear interference. Again, an inch lift wouldn't be bad.

I don't mess with rustys, so no experience with those. Why not run what you have? Are you intending to install the SRBs you posted? Those shackles are cherry imo
As you lift the rear the shackle gets straighter and straighter, which having em at say 90* rides like crap.
Thats why the SRBs are all the rage... multiple points to adjust that angle. Just saying, if we are talking one and done, do it right do it once.. those are pretty much a must- que boomerangs. Pretty nice at taking a crap angle and making it work like it was were it should be.
I prefer the adjustability of the extra mounting locations of an SRB. But, yours look a little different, so idk much about em. Boomerangs would probably suffice, the downside is you install it and thats the only angle you get, so hopefully its on point

You said you already had the RE's, they are the same as the Rusty's.
...
Is there an ideal shackle angle? Seems like I read folks like 45* but also reading other preferences and explanations.
Rusty's are .75", RE are 1.25". I guess 1/2" isn't going to be terrible.
Trying to ID the SRB I have in hand but my darn pictures are huge. One piece unit.
