Rear Lift

[onlyinajeep726]

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but where and what kind of shackles can I get to provide 1.5" of lift in the rear of my 4WD MJ?  It's an '86 if that matters.  I've got some 1.5" coils spacers, so I want to match the rear.  Chevy lowering shackles maybe?

yes.  late 90s/early 2000s fullsize chevy shackles that advertise a 2" drop.

This is the Chevy drop shackle from AutoZone vs. the stock MJ shackle.

 

They worked well with 2" pucks up front.

 

Truck has more forward rake than I'd like, but I suspect that might be caused by the 28 year old coil springs...

Sweet, that's what I was looking for.  87Warrior, what sized tires are those?  That's the look I'm going for.

 

Thanks guys!

[87Warrior]

The tires are a 235/75r15. About equivalent to a 30x9.5x15.

Ok, awesome!  That's the tire size I'm going for and on turbine rims, so that's perfect.  Thanks man!

Any chance you know the part number for those shackles? sounds like a good option instead of hunting the yard for a pair.

Thanks, with my 2WD that's still just a couple in lift, or is it more since I'm not running 4WD?

Not sure to be honest... I think the 4WD models sit higher from factory to account for the weight and sag over the course of 20+ years.  Probably doesn't make a difference now lol.  It'll sit 2" higher than whatever you're at now.
