I need some leaves! (4.5" - 5.5" lift)

Dakotas or S10s....im sure you knew that though. Just play with it till you get what your lookin for. I had a buddy that needed around 2" more and just tossed in the main leaf from a Dakota pack and got a little over 2" it worked out perfect. I know it all varies though. just an idea for you.
 
Hey Billy, I used a two inch shackle plus the shackle relocation trick with my flattened 3.5 inch leaves
I now have an amazing shackle angle and the perfect amount of up and down travel.
just some food for thought
:D
plus if you have a 3 link front it's gonna flex super easy, this was the biggest issue for me, getting the back to flex the same as the front, and the flatter leaves and longer shackle seem to do the trick

That's actually where I'm at. I did the shackle box mod and put everything back together with my 3.5" pack. The jeep had a greasable, extended shackle on it already, which I reused, but it still sits about 2" too low in the back. I got some longer shackles from Phil, which are about 1.5" longer than my current ones, but those will only give me about an inch if my shackle angle is at 45*, so I've still got an inch to make up.

I think Jon might be able to help me out though!

Thanks man. I didn't know what to expect from the S10 or Dakota springs when I've already got a lift pack. I might give that a shot if I don't find another option.

ya thats why i saw saying play with it some, im not sure how saggin those leafs are you have. might be worth it to just fork out and get a decent set though. maybe call RE and see what they have for take offs? its worth a call to atleast see, you might get lucky and score on a good deal.
