So im debating whether or not to just get shackels for the rear. You guys think it would look stupid with just shackles? I really dont wanna crank my tbar cause im gonna end up replacing parts if i do that which i dont have the money for right now. Im keeping my stock rims and tires 4 now until i have enough money for bfg at's. I also dont wanna do a bodylift cause its to much work for me 2 do and the truck is my daily driver i dont have the time. So what do you all think i should do?

I think you should body lift. Set aside a weekend and get it done quick
But...shackles only wont look too terribly bad...but you better like the forward raked look. I like a little rake, but 2' in the rear and 0' in the front might be a little much?
Someones gotta have a pic of just shackles installed!

Yea, I should of at least taken a day or two off from work to do the body lift. Bah!

It only took me a couple hours to do my body lift and that was with numerous breaks and I changed out my factory rubber body mount bushings for new poly units in the process.
Crankin the tbars up 1.5" shouldn't cause any major wear problems.
Getting your old factory shackles loose can be a pain sometimes, the bolts like to seize up in the upper shackle mount.
Bring it to Denton and we'll tackle it together one Saturday.
