I have done the 2'' hanger and shackle lift from sky
It was pretty straight forward and didnt take long.

Doesnt lifting only one end mess with the steering geometry?

well this past weekend i took out my front leaf holders and added on 2 1/2 inches to them and got about another 1 1/2 to 2 inch. didnt affect steering that i can tell or ride. my truck finally sits about level. i would post pics but there only on my cell and i dont have a cable to connect it to my computer.

I don't like the idea of only doing the rear shackles, seems like a shortcut to me. I got kind of lucky and found this Pro Comp kit unused for a good deal, now if I could just find time to install it!
