i think it's belltech that makes the 3" shackles for the HD trucks. i just dont know if they would fit. my 2" shackles are pretty darn close to the bed as is. something an inch taller would i think would hit the bed.

i had a one inch drop by eibach for along time, worked ok but i think they ride stiffer than what i have now, 3inch belltech springs, i wish i would have done that from day one. just my .02

yea i wouldnt buy those ones just cause there so damn cheap, im gonna go wit bell tech 1" drop springs in the front and 2" hangers and do the 1" holes on my shackles... probably wont be till summer anyways though, i wanna get some parts color matched first (rollpan in general) and like i said to, it really isnt bothering me that much having that much wheel gap, i still like it alot so i can be patient
