    hey does anyone know if a shackle kit will provide any lift in rear springs?
    if i run 3" AP expos + 1" factory rake it putts me at 4"
    i would wanna be at 5 in the rear if possible.

    my front would by 4" spindles + ebaich springs 1.6" putting me at 5.6

    Im pretty sure the ap expos are 4". Shackle flip would be way too much.

    If you aren't running weight in the back the expo's give almost 5" of lift. Not sure about the shackle though...

    your right Hiatt i just checked the page & it said the expos give an extra inch unloaded so really there 4" plus the 1" rake putting me close to the 5" i wanna be
    at.
    & is that what you got from the ap's nfs? you used extended 1500 in the rear for a while right?

    now that im close to the 5" i wanna be at im not sure if the extended 1500 will cover me. as advertised is says for 3-4" of lift
    just saw your build mat & was wondering what shocks ya used that were for 4-5" of lift?

    i have some weight but nothing major like a reinforced bumper.. just a steal toolbox with about 60 lbs of actual tools

    & how is the ride yotamatt? well at least up front? i was on the fence if i should keep
    the 1500's at 0 + the ebiachs 1.6" + 4" spindles = 5.6" (front)
    or
    the 1500's at .85 + the ebiachs 1.6" + 4" spindles = 6.45" (front)

    Rides like a lifted truck :) but really it's not that bad...much better than my old spacer lift for sure....the shocks are pro comps for a tacoma with 4-6" of lift in the rear...got them off eBay I think?

    classic haha, well i put a polyurethane spacer lift on my 99 runner & loved the ride so idk how it rides on these lighter tacos. but you wouldn't have a modle number would you?
    i was originally gonna order 1500's all around for 300 but like i said the rear ones were only for 3-4" i feel way safer with 4-6 inches of lift

    They're the 2" add a leaf. I'm leaving the front billies at 0" so hopefully I'll be even or at least close to it.

    cheaper than getting all new leafs. Thats why i asked. I want the spindle lift but cant swing new leafs. This looks like another option.
