Are you buying the kit?? Because the kit will come with shackles to and give you the height to match the front. But yes you can put s 10 leafs but there is no exact amount it will give you(depends on your leaf condition and s 10 leaf condition)

I need some advice. What is the best way to install new rear shackles? I am adding a BB to my 3 inch lift I got the front done last night and I'm going to do the back today. The shackle bolt is a real B*** to get off. My question is could some one please give me a step by step on how to get these shackles installed. Thank you in advance.

Drop the axle. wd40 or lubricate it up! go eat lunch. come back out and unbolt where spring hooks to lower part of shackle. Remove top bolt of shackle. Install top bolt through new shackle. Install leafs to bottom part of new shackle. U will want air tools. If not huge *** breaker bar.
