lift shackles?
okay, i have 4.5" rc leafs, sagging about a half inch, and i have HD shackle relocations, right now the rear is sitting at about 5.5, i want to get rid of my stock shackles and flex a bit better, but i don't want to go over 6.25" of lift, so what shackles should i buy, and by the way, my shackles are at the correct 45 degree angle

as mentioned, on a budget, you can't beat the mj/comanche shackle. grab em from the junkyard.
otherwise, almost any aftermarket shackle will get you 1.5-2 inches and any one is about as good as the other.

a shackle that gets you 2" of lift with a 90 degree from ground shackle angle would be 4" taller than stock
that same shackle at 45 degrees would only give you 1" of lift over stock (assuming the mounting hole on the body is at the same height that it originally was)
