xj shackle relocation

[Magilla]

anyone running a setup like this? how do you like it? http://www.hdoffroadengineering.com/...relocation-kit i might be making a set of my own and want to see if it would be worth my time.

[Ktmracer419]

i was gonna, but other things came up.

i would say its well worth it

Too much lift w/ theirs

uhh... not really. you's gots to cut the factory shackle box for the fitment to work properly.

Looks sweet. Shackle angles in cherokees need help, great idea.

i wish i had a pic of what timmay runs for his rear leaf set up. the rear shackle essentially moves on a track. when it is in downtravel, the shackle slides forward in the track allowing the axle to drop more. when in uptravel, the shackle slides to the back, allowing it to stuff more

Slidars, shit is pretty cool.

[QUOTE]Here's the sliders tacked in place at full compression.





.....and full droop.

nice long shackle with great angle will give you much better travel than that slider setup

[Ktmracer419]

slider shackles are nice

but ill be content with a ballin shackle angle.

my flat re 4.5" leaves gave me an awesome shackle angle with the stock location.

another thing i feel not quite as important as a good shackle angle, but notable nonetheless is ground clearance back there. its just nice to not land on your shackle all the damn time

Was this directed towards me? Cause my deproach angle > Your deproach angle

[Ktmracer419]

it was directed at myself mainly. i hate coming down on them, because it comes down hard

and its departure dumbass

Timmay on Jeepin put alot of work in to making that rear setup and it still looks like it will constantly need attention as things wear. I like the original idea at the top of the thread.
