i will be installing this kit around the first of the year. this kit appears to use the stock shackles. my question is: once i install this kit how much longer of a shackle will i need if i want to lift the truck say 3 more inches?

 

I don't think you want shackles quite that long..... (the additional 3"...) You would prolly need four to five inch longer shackles to accomplish that. And that's getting pretty friggin' long. I would be afraid it would folk up like a cheap cardboard box in a hard corner, or with a heavy side load. (like, going around a corner while pulling a trailer....) That would be FAR too much excitement for my tastes.

 

alirght, well i sounds like ill have to put a lift bolck in once i do the flip if i want to gain any extra lift

 

Or an add-a-leaf.

 

i already have one lol, im gonna get this kit to get rid of the factory block as well as pop my backside up about an inch higher than the front

 

Or full replacement leaf packs??

 

Those are ridiculously expensive

 

Well a slightly larger block would fix the issue as well and be more sturdy, however you could get some axle wrap on hard throttle.
