Improve your shackle angle

[StanBo]

I have plenty in stock ready to ship.

Took a while but I have a new rig and I am ready to purchase. I sent you a PM.

when i'm not lazy i'll post pics of my angles. went from around 10* forward to about 60*back. ended up with an extra 1.5 of lift

I finally got them in and hit the trails at Rausch Creek last weekend.

I was going to replace the supplied nuts with nylocks but found that they were too tall. So I ended up welding the brackets together.

Painted them up.

All installed with a set of Teraflex 1.5" lift shackles in the rear and ACOS up front.

I am super happy with the ride even though it is still not finished.

I needed to get it all installed so I could run with some Range Rover buddies at RC. So I didn't have the time to get longer shocks.

Rear leafs are begging for mercy. I am going to remove the shocks and most likly get a set of OMEs front and rear. I think the heavy duty shocks which work with their 3" lift kits should do.

I had a blast with the truck and it rides way better then my 93 with a budget boost.

My thoughts are I will have to adjust the front again once I get longer shocks in the rear and the stock springs return to their original bow.


Any advice/critiques on my setup? It would be appreciated.

Get some s-10 leaf packs and toss some leaves in your xj pack to bring it back to life.

It is actually flat because the lift sent the shock mounts lower then the stock shocks could reach. I am going to follow a friend's advice and decompress and compress my springs to see how long of a shock I need.

Does anyone know if they would sell just the shackle bracket?

Got my shackle boxes installed and they fit great. However I'm having a hell of a time trying to get my trailer hitch the line back up.

I went through that too. Eventually I got it lined up using a flat head screwdriver in the holes and wiggling it around to straighten up everything. Keep every bolt loose until all bolts are in, even the original shackle bolt on the side.

A little work with a die grinder will solve this.

Got everything aligned and working great. Ride improved substantially and the rear flexes just as well as the front now.

I am glad they are working out for the people ordering. We made a couple QC changes so there shouldn't be anymore bad parts shipped. For the couple of you that got a "bad" set I appologize.
