2001 a 3" RC Lift as-bought.
After having gone down the rabbit hole of trying to diagnose a left pull under acceleration (which became easy once the steering got super sloppy and darty over the course of a 250 mile trip; the control arm bushings are shot), I went down the rabbit hole of XJ suspension since I figured it could be shackle bushings.
My shackles are at a 90 degree angle, and while I don't hate the ride, its certainly stiff. Thinking about getting IronMan4x4 shackle relocation brackets but I keep going back and forth between the 1.5" lift and no-lift brackets. I don't want to add lift per-se but the bolt-ins would obviously be so much easier to install. I wouldn't mind a bit of rake but my truck has been very persnickety about driveline angles and I'd rather not keep chasing proper pinion angles again.
Are the no-lifts difficult to prep for with say a multi-tool to cut the old box out? Does the protuberance that the stock shackles bolt into have to be cut away for the no-lift to go in or does the assembly nestle up against it?
