From RE 5.5 to 7.5 which shackles would I use?

Okay guy's, I have an RE 5.5 lift. It has 4.5 leaf packs with a 5" shackle. I want to add 1 3/4 spacers that I have in the garage in the fronts. Is there a shackle that I can use to get me an added 1 3/4 in the rear? I dont want to use a 2" block and I dont want to change out to 5.5 leafs.

Has anyone heard of the MJ shackes or an extended shackle that will get me the added lift that I need?

Excellent Idea!

You think this is something that an amature do it yourselfer can do with an angle finder and .35 flux core wire feed welder?

Why not sell the 4.5" leafs and get 5.5" leafs? I run them with shakles from Rusty, they should give you addition 1 3/4" of lift, so I´m sitting at about 7.5".

I wonder if when I order the RE LA 5.5" kit if they would let me swap out the leafs & coils?
