Rear Shackle KIT?
Google Image Result for http://www.autoandtrucksprings.com/images/bt7591mbwck.jpg
I dunno, I need to get this rear end up 2 inches, this kit should technically give me my "*** high" look again. Is this a wise investment, or would a integrated block in the leaf pack do me just fine?

a block will increase leverage on your springs and you will have more axle wrap/wheel hop i would not go with blocks if i were you, you can just drill the rivits out of the rear shackles and flip the over so that they are upside down, no need to buy anything other than bolts and a drill bit to remount them

Okay that sounds cool. Can you explain this a little more?

well drill out the rivets holding the rear shackle hangers to the frame turn them over so the shackle goes down instead of up and bolt them back into the frame using at least one existing hole so you get them bolted in the same spot on either side

on the rear of the truck the shackle should be in the rear of the spring and i doubt it will do anything with the ride, be sure to check your pinion angle after you do this though because it should raise your pinion angle, you typically want between -3* and 6*
