leveling kit help

any 2" lift shackles will get the job done. check out ebay if you cant find any locally.

Shackles are what link the rear leaf springs to the frame, getting longer ones will lift the rear of the truck.

No, your really not going to be able to tell the difference with 2in shackles and 1.5 tbar.

I cranked my t-bars and did not add shackles in the rear b/c of the extra weight of the bumper, but I only have 30 in tires. I can tell you it didn't rub AT ALL on the trails in CO, even on the switchbacks and hairpins. I was worried at first, but lemme tell you, crank those bastards and get the alignment!
