blocks or longer shackles in the rear

iron man fab makes some nice adjustable shackles, but they are expensive. if you're towing a boat, you don't want blocks b/c of axle wrap. did that lift come with add a leafs and shackles? you could always stack more leaves together (stiffer ride though, but if your towing it's good)

I agree i wouldnt run blocks if your towing. What lift kit did you use because if you used the super lift 4.5 leaf pack you can just do an add aleaf in the rear and a spacer kit in the front


also love the bumper where did you buy it from?

the kit came with add aleafs. I looked at the iron man adjustable shackle and i think thats exactly what im looking for! if i added an extra inch would i get any driveshaft vibration? i have the transfer case drop kit already installed. The bumper was custom fabbed by a northwest guy in vancouver. I love it!
