    Who's running lift shackles? I need to bring the ass end of the truck up a inch or 2 and I don't want to go any bigger than the 4" block I already am running. I've never used shackles before...any input welcome..

    Ya know I actually hadn't thought about that, i'm sure it costs more but i'd probably feel better about that than a shackle. How much lift do those give though? I don't need even 2 inches to level it. And really until I measured today I didn't even notice the back end was down. Ofcourse now it's all I notice...

    AAL will give you 1.5"-2" depending how worn out your springs are
