I don't think large shackles are the answer. If you install longer shackles the pinion angle will change causing vibration. Just my opinion, I haven't tried them, but they are a great idea especially since everyone wants to "level" their truck after a lift, I guess I will wait to see what mine looks like and maybe I will give them a shot! Nice find. :clapping:

To get 3-1/2" of lift the shackles would have to be 7" LONGER THAN STOCK. Lateral forces of the springs would be huge.

 

Looks to me like a very nice execution of a truly horrendous idea.
