the question is, what are you trying to fix/do?

the question is, what are you trying to fix/do?

Make a trail rig for the swamps of Florida and try to run 35" tires with out cutting the body

Thanks for asking help

shackle reversal will give you room for 33's....same as a much cheaper shackle-only lift will....and rear fender cutting will still be required unless you run a 9.5 or 10.5 tire (neither of which is much for swamp use...)

35's are gonna take either a sawzall, big bumpstops, or 4" spring lift.

I wanted to get a 4"lift thats when i was told a shackle reversal would give it another 1.5"'s of lift along with it

Thanks

aaahhh...doubling up....that works...but...

you can get the same lift for less with only longer shackles, BUT will more than likely have on-road steering issues.

IMO, do the 4" lift first, and see what fits/hits. You may find some bumpstops in front and some longer shackles and bumps in rear cover ya fine.
