lift kit, shackles, and UBolt Holes

I have the UBolt type hangars for my current leafs on my 56 cj5. I've got a lift kit but they will require the H-Type shackles. Is there a way to use the existing holes (where the threaded ubolts were) to hang new H-Shackles?

thanks

 

Is this how it worked for you? what kind of H shackles did you install?

 

Its easier than you are thinking. Just make sure your width is correct for your springs.

 

If your '56 has the shackle reversal, be sure your replacements are long enough to prevent the eye of the spring from contacting the frame.

 

and they are reversed... from the factory. so when you tell me to get them long enough, what length are we talking about?

 

At least as long as the center to center measurement of your old "c" type shackles. Stock replacements are a little shorter between the holes IIRC.

 

thanks vey much.
