Lifting rear shackle
#1
do they make them to lift the rear? I would like to raise the rear 2 or 3 inches and keep the flip kit in place.
Thanks in advance

it depends which flip kit you have. with the djm flip kit you would need a lowering shackle to raise the rear. I think all other flip kits you would need a lifting shackle to raise it. DJM makes a lift shackle.

I have a McGaughey's 7" flip kit. My truck has been riding a little more rough than usual, so I looked under the hood and notice the shocks **** on themselves, lol. I'm going to get some new ones from dealer, unless someone knows where I can get them cheaper than $153 a piece. I have to disassemble the struts to change the shocks, so I figured I would put the stock springs back on. In doing so, I need to raise the rear up 3".
Do i need a lifting or lowering shakle?

If it's a mcgaughey's flip kit you need a lifting shackle but i think the shackle will only lift it 1 inch i'm not sure but you might be able to reinstall the 1 inch block that they took out from between the leaf springs and axle to give you 1 more inch for a total of a 2 inch rear lift

just get a set of rear hangers and put some drop shackles in there for approximately 3" lift...they essentially convert drop shackles into lift shackles, since they just flip them around, plus a little extra lift.
i threw a set of hangers (that i bought from a guy here) on my truck, and it lifted it quite a bit, about 1.5"...
