Default shackles help

The local auto parts store has a set of lowering shackles. They measure 3" in width and 7.5" long center to center on bolt holes. I'm looking for 2" of lift to match the front if I add the poly spacers I have layin around the garage. Will these work if so how much will I see roughly. The last ? With the 2" and my 1.75" springs and leaf lift will I clear a set of 31x11.5 mt I have in the garage from my s10 project

#.75" is enough to clear 31" tire. You may still rub on the control arms or inner fender, depending on your wheel backspacing. CA rup can be fix by adjusting the steering stops, in the rear you may just need more bumpstopping.

3" width shackles are too wide you need 2.5" ID wide shackle. Unless your measurement is outside demension.
