No. You don't use shackles with the slider boxes.

YES its going to change the lift height to some degree if you've got an 85* shackle angle, however with that angle you're getting more lift than you were planning in the first place when you initially put the lift on. The point is they DO NOT add any unwanted lift themselves. The changed angle of the shackle might slightly change the lift height, however the height you'll be at is the height the lift should have given in the first place.

The whole point behind saying they dont raise your lift height is that alot of other relocation boxes actually moves the shackle mount DOWN some as well as giving you back and forth mounting locations. This one does not.
We were talking about sliders not relocation brackets, everyone is confused lol

Awesome... I found a complete kit with the driveline and sye on ebay for about $1190 with $60 shipping. Sound like a good deal? I have 1inch larger than stock on right now. Cant remember the exact size at the moment. But they are as big as I can go with minimal rubbing for stock height.
