[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 437655, member: 19498"] The problem with that is if you were off roading the shackle can actually flip over and be wedged up against the frame. This leaves you with rigid suspension, and to undo it you either have to use a long pry bar to flip it back or try dropping that wheel into a dip or hole and hope it reverses itself back to normal. I went thru this numerous times with a POS and I do mean POS lift kit from Pro Comp on one of my CJ's. If it was mine Id be removing at least one of the rear leafs from the pack until it levels out and pushes that shackle back to at minimum vertical or tipped back as it should be. I will admit I also did this on my 91 with its RE 2.5 kit. Been like this for years now and sits perfect and rides good. [/QUOTE]
