ROUGH COUNTRY Front Shackle Reversal Kit | Jeep CJ5 | Jeep CJ7 | Jeep Scrambler

The Rough Country Front Shackle Reversal Kit completely transforms the ride and handling of your Jeep CJ5, CJ7 or Scrambler (1976-1986). From the factory, CJs run the shackle at the rear of the front leaf spring, resulting in a harsh, nervous ride. This kit relocates the shackle to the front, allowing the leaf to work more progressively and absorb impacts far better.

• Major comfort upgrade: reduces harshness and bump-steer on road and trail.
• Improved on-road stability: more precise and predictable steering.
• Heavy-duty construction: high-strength steel brackets built for abuse.
• Corrosion-resistant finish: stands up to mud, water and salt.
• Complete hardware and brackets included for a full installation.

Installation requires basic workshop tools and intermediate mechanical skills. We recommend pairing it with Rough Country shocks to make the most of the new geometry. A classic, proven upgrade loved by the CJ community: keep your vintage Jeep, but make it ride like it should.
