Just rember with shackles u then have to do shocks and possibly brake lines with the amount of lift u alraedy have. And with shackles u need 2inch shackles to get 1inch lift id probs just go body |

Longer shackles aren't really designed to give lift, they are to use with longer springs to stop the shackles inverting, thats the only real reason for using them... |

Sweet body lift it is, ive already got longer shocks and brake lines, and shock hoops and stuff, would I need to use drive sharft spases with a 4" lift ? And do I need to use a hi steer kit, cause I have one of them from low range Cheers keith |

I ran 32 on mine and all I had was 2" spring and ext bump stops and ext shackles. And all I did was got the inside of the guards with a hammer . Never had a drama |

Hopefuly with the 3" spring lift and 1" body lift I wont need to change the bump stops or hammer the guards so I can keep as much flex as possible But might hammer the guards just in case But thats the plan so hopefuly it works out good |
