Lift Shackles

I currently have a three inch lift, but I want to add another inch to make it a four inch to clear some 33's (cut fenders abvisouly). Rusty's has a 3/4" lift shackle and a 1.25 lift shackle. Which one is better for my application?

Thanks

Bouchie, where abouts up here are ya? (or is it Ontario, Cali?)

I picked up a set of Rubicon Express Boomerangs (#RE2705) from NSOR.com (Canadian Dist.) They give 1.25" worth of lift and move the leafs angle rearwards abit helping flex.

So it will be a little over an inch, but I think you will like the end result. I think you'll rather have the extra lift than too little. Otherwise there are other shackles you can find that give an inch or so of lift.

look at the TnT Customs 1" Boomerangs, they come unpainted, but u cant beat the price

I am in Ontario Canada. Thanks for the help Beakie. Where abouts are you in Ontario?

A longer shackle will lift only one end of the spring, so the amount of lift will be 1/2 of the longer shackle length. So, just make sure you know how much longer the shackle is than stock, then you'll know the lift amount.

I think if you wanted 1" of lift, I'd go with a bit more than with a bit less, since the spring can settle a little. The rear half of a spring isn't as strong as the front half, so I never think a longer shackle lifts it exactly the amount you expect.
