Default Shackle Relocation!

just a heads up to other Cherokee owners, someone in Canada is finally fabricating shackle relocation kits for Cherokee's! I've been waiting forever to do this to my Cherokee and I'm picking my kit up tomorrow and I'll post picks when I'm done the install

For sagging springs just put another one in the pack as I did when I had my 89 xj plus I put on a 1000lbs helper spring.

The point for the bracket is to fix Cherokee's horrible shackle angle allowing for more flex and a more comfortable ride while providing a little bit of lift. I did the install today and I'am more the pleased with the ride and I can't wait to try it offroad! It feels like i have coils in the rear
Here's my old shackle angle vs My New shackle angle
