Got a set of Warrior shackles....totally length is 6" Goin' to put them on my YJ - SOA - has 1 AAL at each corner. Besides changing the caster a little any other possible issues? I like the fact they are braced and I get about an extra 1.5 " lift.

TIA

SOA + Lift Shackles = A BIG PITA~!

it will mess with your pinion angle. stay away form lift shackles over 1"...remember that for every 1" longer shackle you get 1/2" lift!

I agree long shackles kill springs. more lenght = more leverage. 1" or less.

"changing the caster a little"

being able to hold a straight line on the highway is a little more important than 1.5" of lift... you'll just end up taking them off later on anyway.

Dont do it. It'll fawk up your shackle angle as well, and put HUGE stresses on the hangers. I tore a shackle hanger off on the con from it :(
