if you normal shackle is say 2" long
and you replace it with a 6" long one (4" longer than stock) YOU WILL GET 2" LIFT |

measure the ones you have got, and then every 1 inch extra will give 0.5 inches lift. _________________

Grrrrr ive got the lifting bug, if i go 1.5" on the back i have to lift the front, then i will get camber problems and have to flip the ball joints and go to a 2.5" on the front, wich means i will have to get uprated springs for the back. wahhhhhhhh my brain hurts _________________ |
