FONT]I recently bought an 04 GMC 1500 2wd shortbed reg cab with the 5.3. It's a fun little truck but it came with the Belltech 4/6 drop from the used car place. It looks like the 2" spindle and 2" coil up front with the flipped axle/c notch kit in back. I was wondering how I would go about raising the truck 2" inches in both the front and back. I don't want to have to reverse the whole kit and I know there is a lot of different things out there so I just wanna see what would be the cheapest/easiest to do.

 

Throw on some stock springs up front and some stock/lifting shackles in the rear?

 

Stock springs. And you could try some Gabriel adjustable air shocks for the rear. I have them and they are nice for lifting the rear a few inches when I haul somthing.

 

Stock springs and a lifting shackle gets my vote. Springs will give you 2" back up front, but the lifting shackle is only good for an 1"

 

Are these the stock shackles in back? I noticed that there is 2 different holes in the on the shackle. Will putting it in the lower hole raise or lower?

 

Here's a picture of the rear axle just to clarify what I have.

 

axle isnt flipped.. maybe hangers and shackles?

 

those arent stock shackles and the load leaf is missing from the pack. what else you wanna know? looks like they put in a pinion shim as well take a picture of the front of the leaf spring, If you want parts to put it back to stock and want to trade let me know

 

I agree, from those pics, drop shackles and a missing leaf. I would assume hangers on the front of the leafs. And obviously a notch

 

So putting on stock shackles would raise it by how much? Would you recommend that or some lift blocks?
