How much suspension lift before it gets too complicated?

Without realizing my recent mods were going to do this, I just raised my suspension another 3-1/2". I already had the Softride 4" lift. I decided to add a leaf to the front and install revolvers. I expected at most 1" more, oops! Now I'm going to do something similar on the rear to even it out. What other mods am I looking at now? Driveshaft? Pinion angles? etc. These puny 33" tires are looking kinda silly, but they've gotta stay for awhile.

Well putting shackles in the rear will lift you a good amount. But it will also point your pinion up, so that will help. But in the process it will move your tires forward some. The rear is simple. As for the front, I would be worried about your caster beingmessed up from the shackles. Have you driven it yet since you did this? Or did you get most of that 3.5 inches from the AAL?

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that 1-1/2" is from the AAL and 2" from the revolvers. What's my caster?
