Default 1 1/2" shackles

I'm having trouble finding a pair of 1 1/2" shackles for my '04 Blazer. I can find 2" shackles everywhere but the rake is just a bit much with them (I have a pair of 3Leaf 2" shackles installed now).

2" is the standard for shackle lifts. I'm not sure that they even make a 1.5". Why don't you crank your tbars up from to get rid of the rake? If you up the tbars with a 2" shackle lift you can get the truck to sit level.

Can't get the truck aligned with the Tbars cranked any more than I have them. I'm at about 1" over stock now. I know 3LeafFab makes some 1.5" shackles but they're out of stock atm.
