How much of a shackle lift should I go with? Can't afford to do a whole new lift and my rear shackles are bent. Just don't know how long they should be to match my 3" lift.

The most Ive seen is 1 1/2" tall. so you could get those and maybe a 2" block to level it out.

I wouldn't get to carried away with the longest shackles ya can get, they can bend and flip over.
just don't get cheap ones.

So on my search I found some 1 3/8, 1 1/2, and half inch, plus some bigger sizes. Should I go with the 1 1/2 kiethpappa suggested or smaller?
