Damn haha
Last question. Looking into the low pro relo bracket for the rear. My shackle angle now is naturally 90*. Is there a formula or anything like that for calculating lift height when you change the angle of the shackle back to 45*

Assuming your shackle is 4 inches long from eye to eye.
I calculate that you'll lose 1.1716" of lift by going from 90* to 45*.
Really.

They were cheap ebay shackles. The same ones that most broke folks run.
That depends on how long your shackle is from eye to eye. Measure, let me know and I'll tell you the answer.
Like I said, if your shackle is 4"s tall and you are currently at a 90* angle then when you go to 45* you'll lose 1.17 inches of lift.
BUt I don't know for sure that the shackle measures 4"s.

Thats what i was guessing as far as losing in height. I have the shackles set at 1.5" right now and i guess i will bump them up to the 2" hole whenever i do it.
I will measure eye to eye tomorrow when i am working on it.

I need to know the length from bolt to bolt. Not the length over stock.

I am actually confused now after reading this. My RE lift had 3.5" leaf packs and new shackles. Its at a 90 degree angle right now. But i thought the point of them providing new shackles was to correct that issue?
