Hey guys,

Doing an RUF on my sierra, I wanted to know what combo of parts to use.
It currently has:
Calmini shackle reversal which i believe raises the car 2" using the brackets on the front and a boomerand shaped extended shackle on the back to match
2" raised leaf springs (front and rear)
I still have my old leaves as well.

Which parts do I use?

I was thinking the 2 inch springs in front for the RUF with standard shackles and the standard rear leaf with the calmini ext shackle in the back?

Just not sure how even the heights will be.Or am i better off selling the 2" leaves and grab another set of standard rears and use them all round with standard shackles?

sorry about the confusing question.

Calmini leaves are notoriously very firm... you might find the boomerang shackles are all you can re-use from the calmini kit, unless the calmini rear springs can stay in the back (if theyre not too stiff) and the stock leaves go up front.

Only the shackle reverse kit is calmini guys...
The springs are some random brand I could only find on a NZ site when searching the part numbers.
They do ride quite firm though.
