Default rear lift

i havea question about rear lift...i have a 01 sport with off road package.. also has a 2-3in leveling kit on it.. so it sits kinda bulldogged at the moment.. not liking that look to much.. lookin for some shackles but i got under the truck and looked them.. and they are mounted above the shackle mount (closer to the bed).. what can i do about this besides AAL, would rather not have blocks.. like to keep my springs mounted flushed against the axle.. and im afraid if i attempted to move that stock shackle down ill have to much lift.. any insite of this? would be of great help. thanks

There are only a couple options, Add a leaf, Blocks, lift springs with more arch. Lift shackles aren't too much of an option unless you completely re-design the shackle setup as the spring runs above the shackle mount.

Default RE: rear lift

could go with helper springs, thats what I did. Added about 1.5 inches, plus 1.5 inch blocks = perfect for me. I got a set that my dad, had laying around, but I'm sure you could buy new ones for around 100 bucks or so
