Shackle angle school me plz
Alright this is what my angle is as of right now with the stock shackle. I only wanna go up another inch right now im 3.5 in the rear and i need to be at 4.5 to match the front.
Now do i get a longer shackle and push the mount forward? Similar to this guys pic? Funding is a little tight right now. I can do all of the fab work myself.

so i could make a relocation kit an do longer shackles to get about an inch of lift and a better angle. also with a longer shackle does it give you more drop when your flexed out?

That angle is currently good, behiind the shackle is stock end of bolt, trim it off if possible to provide max swing of the shackle. Remember the length of the shackle increase must be double the lift realized at the axle. Extend by 2" to get an extra 1" overall rear lift. It will effect your pinion angle slightly and you may want to a relocator later, but install and you can live with it nicely for now.
