So i finally got my lift in and am trying to get ideas for the best way to match the RE 7.5's up front. Im running the 4.5 leafs and the 1.25 shackles (its a 99)and i need about 1-1.5 inches to match. Iam doin my D44 install this weekend so I would like to get something ordered ASAP. Was thinkin block but read to many bad things then its AAL but i dont know how bad the flex or ride will be third was even longer shackles but from the looks of it if i went with shackles that were much longer it would pull the bottom eye forward enough to bind up. Just looking for some more idea's.

Just weld some 1/2" plate to your front bumper :conceited

The whole point is to gain travel not loose it. NEXT.

if your feeling frisky you could lower your front leaf spring mounts an inch or so..... I would probably just use blocks or a longer shackle.

we basically have the same setup except, i have a RE 1.75 spacer in front with the isolator still in, RRO 1.5 shackles and RE 1.5 block. it sits level with a winch and bumper and aftermarket rear. if ya go block i wouldn't put on anything over 1.5" or ideally 1"

weld a plate over the shackle box to move your attachment point downward

That's where I'm headed, when my RE's decide to sag some more, You can also tune your rear better by adjusting the shackle angle.
