lift shackles?

[GreenF350]

So after adding my spare, bumper, hitch and spare parts in the toolbox, it appears my rear is slightly sagging. Does anyone make shackles that will regain the ride height lost from all this weight? I'm looking for an inch or two.....

Are you running spring over on the rear?

Chevy Drop shackles off of Ebay can net a bit of lift, and have a couple of positions in some sets.

i was just thinking about your truck man. how does it handle on/off road with 33s???? your running hell creek 4.5 springs right, if you bought the kit just use the shackles that came from rough country

so, are the RC shackles longer than stock already? Sounds like the way to go, should improve the pinion angle a little.

the longer shackles are only good for maybe an inch of lift. You need a shackle to be 2" longer than stock for each inch of lift and stock ones aren't exactly short.

 

also keep in mind while shopping, XJ shackles are shorter than MJs and so ones designed to lift an XJ may not be much longer than your current ones.

Advance auto parts and autozone both sell Chevy drop shackles in their store for $40. They measure 7.5" from eye to eye.
