ROUGH COUNTRY FRONT SHACKLE REVERSAL KIT | Jeep Wrangler YJ

The Rough Country Front Shackle Reversal Kit completely transforms the behavior of your Jeep Wrangler YJ (1987-1995). This system relocates the shackles to the rear of the front leaf springs, replicating the setup used on Jeep CJ and later TJ models.

The result is a noticeable improvement both on pavement and on the trail:

• Smoother ride and improved high-speed stability
• Increased travel and front axle articulation
• Better approach angle by tilting the leaf springs
• Reduced bump steer and YJ-typical vibrations
• Compatible with most suspension lift kits

The kit includes reinforced front spring hangers, rear shackles, grade hardware and all required components for installation. Built from high-strength steel with a corrosion-resistant textured black finish.

Installation: requires welding and mechanical tools. Professional shop installation recommended. Estimated install time: 6-8 hours. Compatible with factory 4WD configuration. One of the most valued and cost-effective upgrades you can make to your YJ to take it to the next level.
