Sandwhiching: JCR Gas Tank skid + HD offroad Shackle Relocation Boxes.

Just as the title suggests, how did you account for the additional thickness of the shackle bracket? I have the regular relocation boxes and it utilizes the nutsert in the unirail where the skid plate goes.

What have you guys used? Flat stock cut to shape with holes drilled? Big thick washers?


Thanks!

I think the shackle boxes are supposed to go below the skid. You will need slightly longer bolts.

My hd brackets came with extra spacers if you wanted to run them below the skid. Otherwise, you can do the skid below the boxes. Makes more sense that way anyway cause once in, the relocation boxes don't ever need to come out.

I run my skid under the no-lift relocation. I don't want to have to unbolt the SRB's just to drop the gas tank skid.

the gap that is created by the shackleboxes on the rear of the skid plate mounting holes, what should go in there? Washers?

The back end across the rear cross member has a gap too because of the shackles.

Should i just stop over thinking this and crank down the bolts?

Throw some washers in between. You are over thinking this. I didn't really understand what you meant at first.

sold the hitch so I pulled the bumper too.



had to get creative



Floor Jack for the win.

I put two washers to help with the spacing here for the shackle boxes and the gas tank skid. After tightening down it sucked it all together nicely.



The JCR gas tank skid did not include the 3 bolts on the back crossmember.



Great fit on the jeep and looks great.

Looks so weird with no bumper.



Look what the cat dragged in.. literally fedex.
