    extra lift options along with 4" lift

    I have a Rusty's 4" lift right now. The rear seems to be a bit lower than the front. I'm thinking of using XJ Heavy Duty Lift Shackles in the front and 3" Tapered blocks in the back. This should give me the desired boost in lift and level out my Waggy at the same time.

    Are there any concerns/problems with using longer shackles?
    Are there other options that can give me just a little more lift?

    My goal is an extra 2" of lift so I can run 33" tires on my stock rims. Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

    have a slight cant to mine also and have been thinking about another spring in the rear pack or something else inexpensive/easy.

    i'll be interested to see what the board says and what you end up doing.

        Ive got a 4" rusty lift, and my rear was low too. I put in 2" blocks in the rear and Rustys XJ 1.5" shackles up front. It sits level now (well .25" high in front still), but I havent broken in my springs yet. So once there broken in, Ill make adjustments if needed (either .75" shackles or 1" block).
