    According to the guys at Wheelers the 5pack will give you about 2" of lift. That is the route I'm going, along with new shocks and coils. I would recommend new shackles, etc as well - my theory is that I would rather have all new parts on hand just in case something breaks or is more worn than first appearances let on. And as long that the truck is torn apart best to replace as much as possible to avoid more work in the future...my $.02...

    $157 is still a good chunk of money but well worth it if you're sitting there, truck undriveable, and with bits of steel in your hand and no replacement on hand. You could always buy some locally and return them if you don't need it.

    ya true but i high doubt that these shackles that i have would be ruined when removed. so i go back to my original question of should i get the 4-pack or 5-pack?

    What coils and shocks were you planning on? I was thinking of going with the OME 881's with 5100's set at zero.

    If it were me, I would get the new shackles and the 5 leaf pack. Maybe you can get some money for your old ones on CL or something.

    I think the 5-pack with the reg length shackles would be your best bet. IMO the 5-pack with reg shackles are going to give you a better ride for a longer time than a 4-pack with 2" shackles. I'm no expert though...

    Yea I would like the OME coils and shocks for the front and then run the 5100's in the back. But that's a lot of money!!

    He mentioned being out of town a few pages back. Or maybe the shock of seeing 17 people signed up now caused him to pass out and he is lying unconscious at his computer...
