87manche Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 not sure how long mine are, bt I bet they're 6". They were a 2" chebby shackle, and gave me about an inch of lift. Hell, the ride got better with the longer shackles, but that's likely because the bushings were shot on my factory ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingpong Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 @" drop shackles will give you a 2" lift. They will also change your pinion angle and move the front edge of your tire dangerously close to the front of your wheel opening especially if it is uncut. His prices seem high to me for what they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have ridiculously long shackles SUA. It lifted the truck, but the tires are much closer to the flare than I'd like. Next truck'll prob get a 1" longer-than-stock shackle, not 4.5" longer (2.25" of lift). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
