Shackles vs Blocks

Thanks for the info, I guess I'll start looking into leafs.

 

I have '10 with 5100s set at the middle setting, around 1.5" or so, recently added a set of 1" rear blocks, install was easy and I like the look with a little rake.
What issue have people had with blocks? I know with taller blocks you can get axle wrap but doubtful that would be an issue with 1" blocks.

 

So question instead of starting a new thread- on my current truck I have the cb+2 shackles and a set of icon rear shocks. Thinking about upgrading to the new icon's all around n my new truck and was going to run the kit with leafs as well- will doing the icon leafs, shocks, and cb+2 shackles give me too much lift- or will it all remain the same? I off road semi regularly but tow a ton- so need to make sure im stiff out back and not sky high with the nose. Thanks!

 

I'm running a 1" tapered block with no issues. Not gonna get axle wrap with a 1" block. I will suggest a tapered one though

 

That is sort of my dilemma...I'm going to have a RTT in the bed, but it won't be full time. Do I just get CB shackles at 2" to raise up the back end or do I really need new leafs even thought it's not going to be on my bed permanently.

 

I am going to get the icon rear expansion pack, supposed to get you 1.5" in the rear, wasn't going to mess with new shackles.

I actually have changed my mind on this route after reading on here about it sagging.

I am just going to get a add-a leaf from wheelers like i had on my tacoma. I never had any issues with it sagging or squeaking. i towed stuff and had lots of weight in the back on many occasions over the 11 years i had it. I can always change that later, if i want, it is pretty inexpensive, about $100 shipped. I got everything ordered now, kings up front, spc uppers, rear add a leaf, the cheaper icon non resi shocks for the rear. that will be all i need for a working/hunting truck, not my every day driver.

 

Hey guys I got a 6-inch Rough Country lift that I pulled the front suspension off shocks and rear shocks and replaced with Fox BDS coilovers 2.5 remote Reservoir and fox shocks installer back when I was done my rear was about an inch and a half lower than the front can I raise the rear end with CB shackles with the TRD exhaust on my truck and will that improve my ride quality instead of getting new Leaf packs any input would help looking for better ride quality but to also lift the rear end about an inch

 

Like a PRO, I can tell you that if you go with +2 CB shackles you may end up with leafs hitting the tail pipe section of the exhaust. I recently added them and had to cut off the tail pipe.

 

I dont know what to add now or take off....I have one inch block but was wondering if I should go with shackle instead
