the way shackles work is 1"=.25
so a +2"shackle is only worth .5 for height

i know this is pretty hard for some to understand but its fact, youre only moving one of two mounting points on the leafs

Want to explain how you get those numbers?

Using that theory, 1" at the end should equal .5" at the axle, since it's halfway between where the height change is occurring, and the fulcrum.
