Mounted the tire and tried it on while I am waiting in the other 3 wheels. I am wondering if I need the lift or could I just add a slightly larger shackle. Mounted on the rear would be the tell tale sign I guess.

How do you like the current ride and handling?
So far it seems fine. Has some body roll when cornering. Not quite as nice as when I added the 2.5" pro-comp springs and Bilstein shocks on my 40.

So you could probably get by with longer shackles, but it will change the steer axle geometry, notably the caster, which will increase wandering and other such malcontent and misbehavior. Most opt for shims to help correct it. Stop me if you’ve heard this story before...
No worries. Very familiar with the castor issue. Just thinking out load more than anything.

I think you need a couple of inches. That back tire is going to be tighter and if you throw a bit of weight in the rear it will be even tighter.

Following along here. I'm going with stock plus shackles. Will need to decide on a tire size. Those are 285/75r16 yes?
Yes, Walmart had them on sale for $129.00 each.
Turned Steve into a roller and he joined the sty while we come up with a plan.

Probably now on a government list with a description that reads something like, “unlimited potential”.
Spent some time in the shop doing a little organizing. Hoping to pull AuPig‘s body inside soon to move forward On the project. Doors open, tunes turned up. Lynard Skinner was on doing Freebird. Of course I had to crank it up. Took me back to the Ozark Music Festival in 1974 at Mo. State fairgrounds. Ended up dancing like no one was looking. Great afternoon and memories.
