Yeah, they are 6" eye to eye, where stock is 3" you only gain 1/2 the difference in additional lift, so they should put you up 1.5" or so

here is what it looked like when stock shackles inverted on me

A picture is worth a thousand words! So your boomerangs eliminated that from happening again?

 

[souske]

I don't think the leaves are long enough to use the entire arc of the 6" boomerangs, the only way this will happen again is if a leaf brakes
as the leaf compresses, it gets longer. with the short arc of the stock shacles, the leaf used up all of the available travel, and pushed the shackle parallel to the ground, and kept going, when the suspension cycled up, the leaf shortened up again, but in doing so the shackle was trying to use the wrong 90 deg range of motion, and stuck that way.

With shackle relocators, do I need to worry about anything else (pinon angle, longer shocks, extended brake lines, etc....)?

If you are thinking about Relocation Bracket.....read this.
