Chevy shackles/leafs
Okay so as many of you may know I recently SASed my truck and now i need to get my rear end done. I currently have 2 stacked factory blocks 2in each and then I have 3 one ton chevy leaf springs in the rear to help arc them. So my question is
1. When you buy the chevy drop shackles you can use them on the ranger as a lift shackle by just flipping them right?
2. About how much lift will a stock chevy leaf spring give you, ive heard around 2in?

Here they are

If you need it to be taller they have 5.5" and 7.5" lift springs too. Those linked lift a chevy 1.2 ton 3.5" but will lift a ranger 6.5"

springs will give me about 6 in of lift is what your saying? Im thinking that i have about 5 in of lift in the rear right now and its still not level at all i need about a nother 2 inches. I was also thinking of getting the bell tech 6400 shackles and then procomp 3 in to 3.5 in lift springs. zach you dont by chance still have your old chevy leafs do you?

i do not, i sold them to brenton.
my only concern is difference from your year to mine.
those springs i ran on my truck with the 4" superlift.
I ran those springs with no blocks and the bell tech 6400 shackle and it sat good.
So it should add 6" of lift to yours. Add the beltech shackle and then see if you need a small block to finish it out.

If it isn't safe, Superlift wouldn't be selling a lift kit that comes with blocks to add to your factory blocks...
i personally wouldn't do it.

you can't put a price on safety.
If you have two 2" blocks stacked,why not just get a single 4" block? Much safer and much less chance of shifting,breaking or coming loose.
