Ebay shackles?

[orion_134]

I am looking to buy some beefy looking lift shackles for the front of my SD and am wondering if there is going to be anything else needed for the lift?
Here's a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...m=230159901553&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=013 It says it lifts it about 1.5" and I was thinking I could then put an add-a-leaf in with it.

What do you guys think?

hey Jesse,
I installed one of the shackle kits off Ebay about 2 years ago (I think I paid a little over $200??), it came complete with shackles and drop bracket for the trac bar. it was pretty easy to install and has held up great. I heard horror stories about getting a rough ride with new leaf kits.. so I went with the shackle kit to keep my smoth ride.
let me know if you need more info, good luck JD

I installed mine but didn't have a drop bracket for the tracbar (which might make more sense and be easier to install). Works fine, no probs.

An inch and a half doesn't really require a drop bracket for the track bar. Maybe when you do the add a leaf order you a track bar bracket for a 4 inch lift and you'll be good to go.

I purchased the Maxx 2.7" leveling kit from performance sales.
I like this kit easy to install with the right tools and lift. I have had no problems I trust these better then a shackle lift, and it doesnt change the ride any. It raised my truck 2" exactly and looks good.
