Started my lift today. For budget reasons, I'm only going with shackles and blocks for now. I bought a pair of 2 1/2" blocks and what I thought were 1" shackles, but turned out to be 2 1/2" shackles as well from a member here. Just got to the shackles today, and i'm trying to find some place to make me some new u bolts for the blocks. Here's some pics for you...

I think its starting to look pretty good. Can't wait to put the blocks on, which will hopefully be next weekend. I'll post up a pic when i'm finished too. The after pic may not show it well, but there is a good difference there. I measured height before and after, and it is 2 1/2" higher in the front now. I like it :D
