CWLONGSHOt - ? about your lift

[Drahcir495]

Hey, what type of shocks are you using and where are they now mounted to {axle side}? Did you add some type of boomerang shackle to your lift. And my last question is where did you get the u-bolt skids? Thanks for your help, Rich :D

Rich, Here's answers back at ya! I am going to assume all your questions pertain to the rear axle..right?

 

1) I am running a set of Rancho 5000's I won at a jeep event last year. They are 3" extended.

 

2) I am using the stock upper mount and my own axle side mount.

 

 

3) I really thought long on this, I have a couple different shackles here to choose from. Now I am running a Daystar, greasable, 1.25" extended shackle. It is NOT a boomarang style. If I had to buy some I would get RE or most likely the JKS models! Remember, MJ's have 5" shackles compaired to 3" for XJ's. SO, a 1.5 XJ shackle is olyy good for about 1/2" on a MJ! But it makes a dandy factory replacement!!

 

 

4) I got them off EBAY for $20...SHIPPED!! They are the old style JKS U-bolt skids.

 

 

 

Any more questions...fire away!! Happy to help with answers.

Thanks for the info CW :wink: Any reason why you chose the regular shackle vs boomerrang style? - Rich

Sorry, I was going to comment more on that... :P

I PREFER the boomerang style. But I had these shackles on hand and would have had to purchase the boomerangs. Not to mention most are 1.25 - 1.75 lift for the XJ. These net the MJ 0-.5" of lift.
