Where did you get the lift shackles from. I really want to remove the lift blocks on my truck and replace with shackles and add a leaf.

no sure where you want to get them but you either need to do a shack flip (which is more work than I would want to do for lift) or get SHORTER shackles... you should be able to easily get 2" from an AAL and some you can get more... the stock blocks on the 4x4 04-08's are 1 5/8" so you could easily get rid of the block without doing shackles

These are what I have installed.

Right now I have 285/70/17s (33s). When these wear out which hopefully won't be until the end of the year or so I want to bump up to these:

315/70/17 (35s)

Yeah I have a Procomp 6" inch lift and right now i have stock block and their block stacked. So i figure add a leaf and shackle should work out to bring the rear of the truck up some and get rid of a block so they are not stacked.

I have never had a suspension lift on my trucks so I honestly don't know and don't quote me on this but I thought I saw some lifts have their own shackles that are installed with the lift. Again I am not the person to ask on that one but I could have swore I saw them in a 6" kit lol.

I am not sure if mine has a procomp shackle in it, I bought the truck with the lift. Unfortunately my truck is at the shop getting a tire balance and alignment so I cant look. How long is the new shackle that you installed in your truck compared to the stock one? I will measure mine when I pick my truck up tomorrow.

My shackles are about an 1" 1.5" shorter than stock... I'll try to get an exact measurement off of both this afternoon.

Measured mine.. from bolt to bolt its just a hair over 4 1/2 inches and about 6 1/2 total length.
