Prolly not. I run 4.5" leafs, 1-1/4" shackle and shackle relocation brackets. So Im at about 5.75" rear lift. You could squeeze out more lift if you kept your leafs and added a longer shackle, U-bolt eliminators, and some shackle relocation brackets but all that would cost you about as much as new leafs. It would flex really good though.

I wouldnt run 6.5" leaf packs if youre wanting 6.5". Id go with some 4.5" packs and a longer shackle. IMO

I agree with that add some more leaves to his current pack and add the 2 inch shackle..

How's you get relocation brackets, made or bought em?
