shackles will help the sagging so will an add a leaf, but i would recomend a new leaf pack to cure the sagging(will be expensive tho) you can find shackles at synergyoffraod.com, ebay.com, or your local parts store you can even google lift shackles and youll find plenty of results.

you can even use the forum search feature. Thats what I use when I think something might have been asked a million times already.

Rids about the same as stock & leveled it out nicely looks good got 1" on driver side & 1 1/4" on passenger side & no more rear end squat on take off. I had to cut off the front spring clamps so they would fit reusing them until I make new ones I had to use a torch to get the U bolts off I recommend you have a torch handy & take off the shocks first it's easier. If you need new U bolts I got a universal kit from auto zone that were 10" long cut them to fit & only $20.00 instead of $40.00 if you buy them separately. Good luck & nice ride
