    The shackles will lift the rear of your truck 1"- 1.5". This doesn't require any blocks and still keep all your trucks payload capacity. A better option for lifting the rear of your truck in my option. I'm sure there is a lot of people with better answers hopefully they can chime in to help out alittle.

    Oh! Thanks for the explanation. I have a 6 inch lift and was considering swapping out the rear spacers.

    That's for another time. Don't want to hijack this thread.

    I love when the BROWN van shows up at my house. Show some before and after pics MUDDOC

    I will do it! Be a couple of days before I get them installed. I have a 3 inch in the front which put me a 1/2" low in the rear (not a cali lean fan) so this set up should do the trick!

    All right guys... toytec boss rear shocks and toytec shackles set at 1.5. Did the install today. This is with a 3in ready lift level kit. Also got the caliraised dual led ditch light installed. Both mods took about 3 hrs. Hope this helps and yall enjoy! Before and afters! I'm sure yall will be able to tell. Toytec shackles r awesome. That is my buddy's yota with a 6in lift on 35 12.50. The picture of the light don't do them justice. They r awesome! If yall have Any questions ill be more than happy to answer! Thanks guy.... got to love the ups man.

    Now I need to get bigger tires! The list keeps growing. Have smittybilt m1 front and rear bumper heading this way. Will do the install then make a decision on tire size. Thinking 295 65 r 20.... should do the trick! I'll keep posting here to let yall see the progress.

    Ain't that the truth?? You do one mod, it leads to another. Case in point

    Got 275/70r18 tires, led to spacer lift, led to suspension upgrade now leading to wheels and bigger tires which will lead to aftermarket step bars and tonneau cover

    Got tint which led to LED lights, now leading to auxiliary backup lights for backing out in the country and backup camera....probably lead to LED bar in grille for hunting season LOL

    I can only afford wheels and step bars this year....MAYBE a tonneau cover but unlikely (unless Craigslist coughs up a nice one for a nicer price!)

    I've spent most of my limit on my suspension.....so gotta wait a few months to let the wife cool down LOL
