I am wanting to get a touch more clearance, articulation, and improve the ride in my '99 XJ (4.0, AW4, 242, D30 aussie, AMC 20)... and maintain a fairly factory stance/look.
I want to fix the sagging butt, and doing so I was going to pick up an Upcountry spring set. Then I figured I could just throw on a set of 1" shackles to compensate... then I, ran across the RC, and later HD v.2, shackle relocation brackets... 1.5" of lift, is just above perfect! I tried to search, but all comments related involve lifts.
So, I understand the minor lift would occur, and that is fine, but will the relocation of the shackle pivots have the same effect (better ride/articulation) on an otherwise stock XJ?
I understand a 2.5" or 3" would be the way most would go, but I am only trying to fix the sag, and maybe get a better ride and more twisty action along with it.
