Anyone know what sort of shackle lift is on this Sierra?
Already got 2in body and 2in suspension lift, I figure a further 2 inches I'll be able to get 32" tyres under them comfortably.
It looks like a bolt in to extend distance of shackle mount from frame, but unsure

Calmini shackle reversal kit, Big POS from what I've read about it.

Do virtual lift to fit 33s. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=34550

Not ballsy enough to cut my guards, I have sfa idea what i'm doing with a welder.
Apparently it's pretty decent for on road comfort, since my zook is my daily I'm not all that worried about how it does off road tbh

Thanks btw

So why do you feel the need for 32s?

Remove the shackle reversal, go 2 inch spring and 2 inch body lift, redrill the front spring perch forward by an inch or so, maybe extend the bumpstops if need be and 32's should fit easily enough. Will ride well, you wont have the fangs on the front or extended shackles and if you do ever need it to flex offroad it will.

The calmini shackle reverse kit is pointless.
12" of lift is pointless under any circumstances
32's on road are pointless

You car will be terribly unstable and unsafe for road use. Bif you don't have the skills to build a car that can run 32's with minimal lift, you can't run 32's.
