    I measured my truck today, about 2 weeks after installing my OME lift kit. I stock 31's on right now and the front was 38 1/2" and the rear was 37 3/4" passenger side and about 37" driver side. i just had gotten gas.

    Now do you think 2" shackles will look a little too jacked up in the rear, or should i go with the 1".. Tried to research some pics but didnt help much.

    I have a 1" lift shackle on my truck but I've got that with my Dakar leaf pack and toytec c/os up front. A 2" lift shackle will be hanging out a good amount from underneath the bedsides if that matters to you. You gain half the added length of the longer shackle in a lift shackle so a 1" lift shackle is 2" longer than stock shackles and a 2" lift shackle is 4" longer than stock.

    You can kind of see the shackles sticking out from underneath the bedside in the picture I posted. My rear bumper hides it somewhat. I have the toytec 1" shackles on my truck.
