Im willing to help out as much as I can.

Its a 6.5" Long arm with shackle relocation brackets out back. They make a nice 45* or so angle with tons of flex and a nice ride.

Felix, thanks again bro!

Are those Napier flares?

And how much did the relocation brackets help your ride quality?

I have a set just sitting in my house waiting to go on. I just haven't had time. I bought them a few months ago too...

Yeah those are Napier's. I really like them. The ride quality as greatly improved IMO on and off road.

I would throw them on if I were you cuz you'll really like them.

Felix tried using them with the stock shackle but they didn't work. The extended shackle that the lift came with works very well.

Even though the relocation brackets add an inch, you can take it from the extended shackle. You can see in the pic that I used the top or first bolt-hole to negate the extra inch of lift.

I have a set if the Napier flares to instal. That sounded like I have the brackets.


BUT I do want a set of the brackets, I just don't really want the additional lift until I get 33s

STS turbo in Utah had an insane NBS Silverado. My buddy had a reglar cab turbo 4.8 and his dad has a rear mounted SS Silverado.

Nothing like the sound of a turbo spool and BOV

I would consider mine a junkyard lift. If you want a set of stock leafs for a bastard pack let me know I got some.
