2001 XJ, 6.5" of lift on 35s
I'm running OME 4" lift springs and BWE Comp Shackles. With my current setup, the shackle is almost vertical (rather than the ideal 45 degree angle) and the spring is pointed "up hill" towards the front. This makes the ride rougher and severely limits my rear drop.
I'm contemplating making a "drop bracket" for the front mount (which has been reinforced with plate). This would flatten out the spring and allow me to get the shackle to 45 degrees. Problem is, I've only ever seen on write up about someone doing this. Is this a bad idea?
