    Got mine on, but I need to go Aftermarket shackles. What year(s) Jeep XJ shackles do I need to get?

    The Chevy drop shackles are quite a bit cheaper than the XJ lift. The generic ones you can get at the parts store usually have several holes for setting it at different lengths. May be helpful dialing it in.

    I bet 1/2 the people who buy these have no idea how to set them up or what there actual use is, so I won't bet.

    I will stick around for the horror stories though....pass the pop corn

    Yes, and that's the best part about it...

    TW is full of people who drive with 4x4 engaged on asphalt going around hairpin turns and into parking spots.. it's the same as watching NASCAR highlights for the crashes.

    are you guys seriously making rocket science out of a shackle?

    sure, you can fuck it up...much the same you can fuck up an oil change.
    are some going to fuck it up? my guess is no, but its not out f the question, shit happens.

    if you're gong as far as getting this kit, chances are you're passed driving in 4x4 in asphalt....
