Shackle Lift?

[Guest]

I have a '92 YJ, all stock, except for a loud system and 31x10.50 BF Goodrich All-Terrains. I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a shackle lift, one that won't break or bend easily. I already bent the stock shackle on one side, and my tires rub on the fender flares when I go over large bumps. I'm looking for something in the area of 1.5-3". Thanks in advance - Matt

I know that you're hating that tire rubbing sound, but a shackle lift of 1.5-3 inches will seriously mess with your ride and your steering geometry. Keep in mind that for 1.5 inches of lift, your shackles will be 3 inches longer than stock.

When I got my CJ it had 1.5 inch lift shackles on it... the ride was horrible and the steering was messed up. I personally won't use a shackles for lift, but popular oppinion seems to dictate not going over 1/2 inch of lift using shackles.

You can check out quadratec's website for some good, heavy duty shackles.
goodluck,
