I bought 3" front coils. If I want 3.5" - 4" in the back and plan to use the Dakota pack will I benefit from using a longer shackle?

If so, should I get a 1" lift shackle (GM Shackle?) and build the pack to 2.5"-3" to take into account the 1" from the shackle?

 

I would stick to the bastard pack then if you need more lift add the shackle

 

If ya add a shackle consider boomerang shackles. From what I have read they should help with flex and such.

 

My question has nothing to do with lift. I would like to know about the shackle angle.


Ive read that as well. Im just wondering how much the stock shackles will limit me and if its worth going to a 1" lift shackle to help with the angle.

 

I did that lift to mine heres a pic of the shackle after the leafs were done.
Its sitting on tires. i have other pics in my profile about the lift they might help you. pm me if you want.

 

Well you can make bastard packs to any height most of the time i thought you wanted to know how to get 3.5-4"'s of lift my bad
