Hey guys. They have a universal shackle kit at Auto Zone for $14.95 per set. Multiple spacing from around 4" to about 7".

I'm needing about another inch on top of my 2.5 lift. Just trying to get a little more clearance for the 32's I'm riding on.

Is this a good idea?
 
i dont see any reason why they wouldnt be safe. get them and lets us know how ya like them.
 
Ok guys thank you.

These at a.z. are very plain and "generic". I know I can't go too crazy doing a lift with these, but its going to be a daily driver and get muddy every now and then. What's been bugging me us that I don't like body lifts at all but I've been needing an additional 1" to sit over my 32's better- and not spend a fortune doing it.
 
The Wisner shackles are very heavy duty and very reasonable.If the AZ sets are not reenforced in between I would stay away from them.You need all the support from flex and twisting that you can get to preserve the handling.
I went with the 1in lift and greasable bolts and it was all less than $120 for front and rear.Bolts were more than the shackels
