Hi all,

I'm going to get a 4" lift kit for my CJ7. While at a local jeep store I noticed one of their jeeps with a Shackle Reversal Kit (one of the guys there told me what it was). My question is what does the shackle reversal kit do for ride and would it be a good combination with the 4" Lift.

Thanks,

Bill

I agree. Just do a conventional 4" lift and be done with it.

I had a 4" suspension lift and shackle reversal on my rig for about a year but got rid of the SR because I couldn't get used to the new braking characteristics. The nose dive during hard-braking drove me nuts, especially with the weight of a winch up front. Yea it rode a little smoother but the "good" did not outweigh the "bad" effects. The SR is not a worthwhile modification IMO.
