So awhile back I installed the OME lift with their shackles and everything seemed fine. I was giving the YJ a look over and it seems the rear shackle is impacting my rear bumper (LOD).

You can see the dark spot on the the left where it hits. It doesn't feel too bad when I run my finger over the spot but in an effort to get ahead of the problem, I'd like to address it before it gets worse.

I'm thinking a set of boomerang shackles might help? Something like these: https://mountainoffroad.com/products/boomerang-shackle-87-95-yj-front-or-rear
 
It looks like a set of boomerang shackles could work. Either that or trimming of the rear bumper.
 
I looked at both sides and it seems to only be happening on the passenger side so I'll try to trim it to clear. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's interesting. In that case if everything else looks normal, I think I would try trimming things.
