FWIW

Don't use the stock shockles. Always use longer ones in orde to get better articulation ;)

Good luck

You dont want the stock ones.

I have a set of RE ones I'll give you a good deal on, they are like 1" of lift or something but will double or so the articulation you get in the rear.

the only thing stock shackles are good for is............ well i cant think of any thing right now, but i would not go back to them if i were you, go longer for the articulation.

I was worried that if I kept the schackles I have it would look really bad with the back way up in the air. I got the RE 3.5 with aal , maybe with a 3/4 inch spacer up front it would level it out. If I was to do that do you think the brake lines would be safe in the front ?

The rear will sag and sit lower after a few months, get a longer shackle and give it time to sit level again later.
