Shackle question
I have put a leveling kit on my truck and replaced the factory springs with aftermarket ones. Is it possible to put a shackle leveling kit on top of the aftermarket springs?

I would only do this if the shackle kit drops both the front and rear spring mounts. If it is the style where it only drops the back mount then it will make your pinion angle to severe.

My Rubicon Express leveling kit came with front and rear mounts - and a bunch of other stuff, too, that you probably wouldn't need (ie Drop Pitman Arm, Track Bar Relocation Bracket, etc). Back then (2004) Rubicon Express did offer just the shackles without all of the accompanying hardware.
