New lift question? Rear

[gwayms]

I just put a RC 4.5" lift with full leaf pack. Everything rides pretty good, but the back is really stiff. Can feel every little bump or expansion joint in the road? I have changed the leafs before but was just OEM and it didnt ride this stiff. Any ideas? Or is this just how it is for a while.

it will get a little better but not much that is one of down fall with going with full leaf , i have mine in for about 4-6 mo and still very stiff

What does your shackle angle look like? It can give a bad ride it you dont have a good shackle angle, also like 96XJ said the ride will get a little better as your spring break in.

With a 4.5" lift, the easiest way to make the ride better is to put in boomerang shackles, Iron man Andy makes some nice ones, RC has them too I do believe.

What exactly is a boomerang shackle?My 98 Xj rides like junk because of the new spring packs in the rear.Very bouncy ride on the concrete interstate on certain parts.Prices?Do they really work?

Also another thing to think about. Ya got NEW leafs on there they need to break in a lil. I'd say maybe a month and yer ride should get better.
