Re: question regarding RC lift
I have probably the same RC lift you have. It took about 6 months for the rear springs to settle out properly. I use my XJ 90+% off-road on our farm and have had the lift on for 2 years. No problems with it and I very happy with it.

Re: question regarding RC lift
For the best ride the shackles should be at 45 degrees.
You may need this. https://hdoffroadengineering.myshopi...ation-brackets

You don't really even have to go with a longer shackle. Also check out www.ironman4x4fab.com as well. Andy is a stand up dude, and Iron Man 4x4 Fab has sponsored the SEC Cherokee Crawl the last few years.

Re: 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.*

Check out this link. Andy throughly explains his products. I used a different brand SRB, and had to use the longer shackles with the SRB to make them work.
