and im pretty sure the link i put up before is for a true 2" lift. Looks like the shackle is a little over 4" long, which would make the 2" lift. Besides, everyone advertises it as a 2" drop and if people didnt actually get a 2" drop out of it, they'd be pissed.
email the guy and ask him to measure one

well, im leaving the front. Im going to add the 3" block and see what happens. hopefully thats all i need for about a 1" rake. but ya the addaleaf is comin out regardless. And then after i get all this figured out im adding airbags for towing. If i put the blocks in and take the addaleafs out and i have too much rake, i have to come up with another plan.

Take the AAL out, put in a 1.5" block and you'll be where I am. Then use the shackle to get the rest of your lift. Its the safest way.

ya i could do that, just sell my 3" blocks and get 1.5" ones with maybe a 1" shackle. It just doesnt seem right that a 6" up front is offset with 1.5" in the rear to be level but i guess its true. Your 1.5 is in blocks, and my 1.5 is in addaleafs.

are we sure its actually 6" up front? If the factory rake is only 2", I would bet that our fronts are only 4". Maybe we can get someone with stock ride height to measure their fender wells.
