    I have OME Dakars with stock length OME shackles that are about 2 years old and see pretty heavy loads on a somewhat regular basis. They have sagged quite a bit and I put OME 882 coils in front because I added a plate front bumper and a winch is going on this week. Now it has negative rake and when there's a load and it seems I could benefit from a bit more rear lift to even it out. Longer shackles seem to be the obvious solution.

    I know not all shackles will work with Dakars, and I think I want about another 1" of rear lift so I'm looking for about a 2" longer shackle.

    Suggestions on which shackles to get? Or should I consider an AAL?

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I'd go with the 1.25" greasable Daystar's from Wheeler's.

    Thanks! These work with OME leafs for sure? And I guess .75" lift would be ok. I was hoping for more.

    Those will give you 1.25" of lift.
