question on bilstein 5125 shocks and PRG shackle lift

ok right now on my truck i have a 2.5 in spacer and block lift kit. And i want a little more lift on my truck but i dont want the 5in calmini (even though i would love to have it...just no money for it lol)


i just wanna know if it would be a good idea to get the Bilstein 5125 shocks and PRG shackle lift just to get in a little more lift? Would i need any other parts to add also?

or does anyone have any other suggestions to get a little more lift????

  • JBA Headers
  • Airaid Throttle Body Spacer
  • 6" Fabtech Lift (still debating about it)
  • W/35" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws (only if i get the 6" lift)

the shackles will just lift your rear. unless you get a body lift you have to have a drop bracket kit to get more than 3" in the front. it would make it more lifted looking in the back though

I think PRG sheckles are over priced. They are $120. You can get shackles from AC or Calmini for around $60.

with a block and a shackle you are going to need shims to corrent the angel of the rear diff to prevent drive line vibration.


How much lift do you want?
