You'll need drop leaves, or a flip kit with a lift shackle to get you there.

Where can I find the lift shackles? And how bad will the ride be? Anything special need to be done to adjust the pinion angle?

put the flip kit then you turn around and put the shackle relocator with a 2" "drop shackle" which actually becomes a lift shackle.

I cant find the damn p/n for the kit.

McGaughys 93049 shackle lift kit
SKU: 34047 flip kit.

Maybe someone will have better luck than me finding the actual flip kit/shackle hanger lift kit.

They dont make a "drop hanger" for these trucks the hanger is welded to the frame. The only "hanger" you can change is the shackle hanger. Thats required for a flip kit (7") to go 4" or 6" drop. That 1st p/n i posted is that hanger kit i am talking about
