xj rear leaf sliders?

[dyer91]

R the liquid iron sliders worth the $ or just do shackle reloction brackets? My shackle angle is at 90. Its got the rc6.5 lift with the springs and shackles. Opinions from personal experiance appriciated.

Scott Sills at Mud Pro, http://www.mudprometalworks.com/ , did my last DIY set. All four corners for $80 or so.

amajeepman's ECORS XJ built by MarsFab has the LI slider boxes on. I drove it for a few laps, that thing is smooth and fast.

I ran the rough country shackle relocation brackets for a month and then sold them. Yeah they helped my shackle angle and my jeep rode a little smoother but I hit my shackles almost everytime I dropped off of a rock and ended bending the shackles. I wouldn't recommend them but know a lot of people who like them. I'd say if you are trying to relocate the upper shackle mount, do some fab work to the factory mount and relocate it somewhere that high rather than below the factory mount.

When I redo the rear suspension this coming winter, I'll be giving Scott @ Mudpro a call for a set of sliders! I've got buds running sliders on larger rigs and feel they work a bit smoother, without additional hardware... IMO, a 21st Century solution for 19th Century technology
