Most liky no. If the shackles you get are the same width as stock you will be fine. If you cant find any that will fit. you can also do an add a leaf. that will give you the other 2in your looking for.

you will only get 1 inch lift because you are only lifting from 1 side of the springs. it will also make for a very stiff ride.
