So I'm reverting from my current 6.5'' pack with leaf sliders to a 3'' pack with a shackle+relocation kit.


I ordered from IronMan4x4 and the stuff came in today, but I don't know if the fixed shackle will work. When I ordered, I did so with Andy himself via Facebook chat. I didn't think they made fixed shackles, so I didn't mention adjustable. He says these fixed ones won't net me 4'', so I'm going to assume at least 3''. The relocation kit adds 1.5''. And my leaf pack should be about 3'' as well (it's in storage, not sure of size, but I have pics of it installed on my Jeep).


Here's the new stuff:

This may not be the best measurement of it, but here's how big it is. Is there a way to find out if this setup will give my 6-7'' of lift without having to put it on?

And these may not help determine the 3'' pack size, but here they are anyway.

Old lift. Previous owner said I was at 4-4.5'', but my friends and I think more along the lines of 3''. I have 33s on in this pic.

And this may not be any help, but here are the leafs.

I need to get to around 6-7'' in the rear. Hopefully this will work. If I bought the adjustable shackle, I was probably going to extend it to 3'' like I mentioned earlier.

Also, I lifted my rear with a buddy last time. Can I do this myself or should I have someone with me? I have a hydraulic jack and jack stands.
