rear lift shackles?
anyone ever use these? they are made (or sold?) by DJM industries. i measured on my truck, and found them to be almost an inch shorter. that would work perfect to get the 4" of lift for the back of my truck without having to shell out big bucks for springs or install bigger blocks

Re: rear lift shackles?
I've not used those but being 1 inch shorter is only going to give you about 1/2 inch of lift. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to achieve a lift, have you considered a shackle flip?

Re: rear lift shackles?
i have seriously thought about it, but my truck being 3/4 ton it has an extra little bracket on the back shackle, so im afraid of loosing that with the flip and not having as much strength for towing. i'll have to get a pic to show the bracket
