another reason why shackle lifts are no good

I didn't put em on came like that. Got my tires mounted today and noticed a bent leafspring... Stupid shackle lifts >.<

Looks like i got an excuse to empty my bank account for a RE 4'' lift kit now tho instead.

How much shackle lift did you have?....I wouldn't go more than 1" or 1-1/2".

Didn't most of the yj's come with a stock 4" hole to hole shackle? My '88 I got in Dec. has 6" hole to hole which I found out on here lifted it 1".
