Looking at adding a shackle to my lift in either 1" or 3/4", not sure which. Looking at several out there Daystar,Rustys,T&T, Rubicon etc. etc. Leaning towards the 1" T&T Boomerangs,any body seen these yet or experience with them? http://www.tntcustoms.com/webV3/xjshackles.asp They are non greasable. Greasable VS. Non greasable any input on this,Style otr manufactor would be helpfull. __________________ If guns kill people, then I can blame misspelled words on my pencil" - Larry The Cable Guy GIT-R-DONE My Pics and Specs

The T&T Boomerange Shackles are a cheap alternative to the RE Boomerang's. Really only difference is the RE ones are greaseable. So if your wanting boomerange you need to decide if the greasable aspect is worth the extra cash. The T&T stuff is top notch, don't get me wrong.

If your not wanting boomerange than thier are several other ones out thier to consider aswell.

Be sure they are a good inner support structur. Also make sure you do your research prior and see what they really do advertise for lift, some say 1 thing and give you something totally different.

The RRO shackles are 1.5" of lift. They are beefy and greasable. I think they are around $70.00 for a set.

I would opt for the greasable ones. Greasable is always good on automotive parts. They will last longer.

Are you going to run a 1" spacer up front? If so, 1.5" in the rear may not be a bad idea especially if you are going to keep your spare on top. __________________ 2001 Cherokee Sport -- 40k -- 4x4 -- 4.0 HO -- AW4 -- D30 -- 8.25 -- OME 930 coils -- Rusty's full length 2" AAL -- Sensatracs -- 30x9.5 on Jeep Grizzlys -- Homebrew Safari Rack My Pics and Specs

I actually have a 3/4" spacer for for the front of my XJ, already sits a bit high in the back when its on level ground. so with extra weight should be good. __________________ If guns kill people, then I can blame misspelled words on my pencil" - Larry The Cable Guy GIT-R-DONE My Pics and Specs
