question regarding RC lift

The longer the shackle used with the relocation brackets, the lower your rear will sit at ride height. I had a set of "lift shackles" I had acquired before I knew the ins and outs of XJ suspension. IIRC, they are an inch and a half longer than stock, and I had a rake with stock and sh*t ride (90° angle). Swapped to the longer shackles, leveled my XJ out and angle/ride was better (45° angle).

*End User experience may differ with each XJ. I have 5 and none of them seem to act the same.*

Personal experience says get both.
