I ran those shackle location brackets with the teraflex revolver shackle and it worked great

[@josephaldrich283]

I have the same jeep same color!! I came across your video because I have the same problem 4.5” lift on mine 😂 i was looking for reviews on the rough country ones I think I’m funna go with the same ones you got!

[@ninjascout468]

Mine has a 2" budget lift 31 Patagonia Mt rear locker and flexs like no other lol and I've done alot of stuff others won't even try 😉

[@davedynamite1298]

So 31’s fit a 2” lift?? I just lifted my xj 2” with coils up front and shackles in the rear. Next is tires and it’s between 30’s and 31’s.

[@joncalman8180]

@@davedynamite1298 31s will fit. My original set up was 31s on a 2" 15x10" rim. Went with a 3" and running 32x11.50 on a 15x10 with no issues at all

[@kjohns236]

Hey Ronny! I want to get these for my Cherokee but it doesn’t look like they’re available anymore. Can you recommend something similar?

[@Bambam-kl1dg]

What coil springs are u guys running up front

[@jonathanamador7748]

Would I have to lift the front more or are the shackles just for miss flex? Do the shackles give it more lift? Thanks

[@bobhilly546312156332]

Would this work on a full sized truck, I’m building a 78 ford half ton and I wanna have it be the best work/offroad/daily driver pickup it can be so I don’t really wanna 4 link it so I can still haul fire wood and what not with it,

[@johnr5545]

Thanks god bless

[@susu-mi7kx]

Ronnie, I unclamped the upper and lower radiator trans oil steel lines from the transmission's 3/8 rubber lines they clamp on to, so that I can install new trans oil cooler lines. I did not take note which they connect back to. the top steel line or the bottom steel line(that have the 3.8 rubber lines., can you help a girl out?

[@pnwroffroad9229]

Probably to late to help, but easy way to find out is have a helper start the Jeep with the lines going into a bucket. Run it long enough to get flow, the pressure line goes into the cooler at the bottom port of the cooler.

[@drewfunck6441]

Cherokee Ronnie what slot hole did you put leaf spring in on the shackle? I have the same shackle relocation set and trying to find the best articulation and currently have it the 3rd hole from the front of hole.

[@cherryoakieyyc3546]

Just bought my first xj...came with a rc short arm 4.5...any chance you think pulling a leaf out would make it ride better and possibly even move more then a half inch haha its stiff as ballz....came with the full leaf pack

[@cherokeeronnie]

You could try it it might be a little bouncy

[@danhambrick6331]

You're better off ripping all the Rough Country crap out and replacing it with something better.There is a reason RC is so cheap and now you know why....

[@cherryoakieyyc3546]

@@danhambrick6331 I know lol I wouldn't have bought rc, but working on it. It's just what came on the thing. By some dude doing a California tune up

[@garyvanmeter4911]

@@danhambrick6331 That's what I did. Never regretted it!

Should you take off your rear sway bar ? Even for daily driving?

[@joncalman8180]

I have no rear sway with absolutely 0 issues. The upcountry package jeep used to do came from the factory with no rear sway

[@Jon-ko3vv]

the rear is so small it does very little

[@svborek]

Remove the rear sway bar. Bingo

[@cherokeeronnie]

It’s not enough when your at 6.5 inches

[@svborek]

@@cherokeeronnie at 6.5 it should be taken off anyways. 👍

[@cherokeeronnie]

Yeah I took off when it was stock 😂
