thats good to hear!!!

im thinking there a great choice to go, but my only concern is that i dont already have longer shackles in place, they look pretty long

im the 3rd owner... not to proud of that but still

n question, how much of a b*tch will this be for a guy like me with a jack n a lil elbow grease to do this?

They are SIMPLE as all hell. Jack the truck up by the bumper is all I did. Jack stands on the frame, with a small floor jack under the pumpkin so you can raise and lower the axle to the proper height to get them in. Its cake!

There actually 4 3/4'' from center to center of bolt holes, and the whole shackle is 6 3/4''

Have you thought about that the shackles may impact your leaf pack for the worse? I'm not sure if they make your leaf pack droop over time or what but I think it makes them droop over time, someone correct me if i'm wrong about that.

I would say that you should go with a single aal and torison bar adjustment but it depends on how much lift you want.
