I have no idea, I guess if you could get the dimentions of the shackle kit you want to use, and then measure it out on your truck to see if they will interfere with the plow frame.

I went to new springs, so I didn't have to worry about interference.

Im not sure if anybody here runs shackles with a plow....

What do a set of new springs about 3in over stock run for and hows the ride.If its not that much more than shackles it sounds like all spring is better.

Copied this from NTW:

99-03 SUPER DUTY
2" with shocks......... ........$369.95
4" with shocks..................$659.95

When you get in to the 4" it's an actuall lift and then you will need to bolt on all the other parts incorporated with it.

Dont know if you can find a 3" spring, maybe localy you could have a spring shop work with you.
Or maybe find a pair of X springs, they would pretty much level out your truck as long as it's a gasser.

The ride would be stiffer than what you have now
