Whoo-Hoo, I finally got it level!!

After the 4" skyjacker lift in the front, the rear was setting two inches low. Ii had previously lifted the rear 3.5" by lowering the spring mounting hardware. Since the 4" lift was equal to 6" of actual lift, the rear end was setting too low. Then the guys here mentioned that I should have done a shackle flip sooooooo.
One of my main goals was to get rid of the factory lift blocks in the rear end anyhow so, I set to work building the shackles that would eleviate all my problems.








I actually had fun building them but wasnt sure if they would fit the way I expected but they did. Thanks for all the advice and comments guys










Now Im ready to start saving my cash for those 37" tires I want. Maybe I should moonlight as a topless dancer?...LOL.
