Rear Lift Shackles

[elcidsurfer]

Just installed my new Alcan springs, replacing the old saggy stock ones and now my T4R sits nice and level. Not to mention the ride is 100% better. Can wait for my Bilsteins to get off of backorder, it will prolly drive like a new truck once those are on.

Anyway, as we all know the rear wheel well is not cut quite as high as the front wheel well giving the truck a slightly deceiving stance. My questions is does anyone make a 1/2" or 1" shackle lift to give my truck a slightly "down hill" stance? Or will it just be easier to make my own? If so what is the ratio of length of shackle to lift of the vehicle?

Thanks

what is the ratio of length of shackle to lift of the vehicle?

2:1 :thumb3: 2" over stock equals 1" lift

So let me see if I'm square...

Stock Shackles (0" Lift) = 3.25" bolt to bolt

1/2" Lift Shackles = 4.875" bolt to bolt

1" Lift Shackles = 6.5" bolt to bolt

No.
The ratio only applies to the difference.
Stock = 3.25"
1/2" lift = 3.25 + 1.00 = 4.25"
1" lift = 3.25 + 2.00 = 5.25"

HTH,
