flipped shackles?
I found these and was wondering if anyone has used these.

Just torch a hole in the bottom of your existing hangers, flip the shackle, and you've got a four inch lift.... ok, well, there's a little more work involved than that, but that's what I did and worked great. Just make sure to add some braces after for the lost support. FREE is always a good price

Yukon Jack has the shackle reversal on his 3/4 ton and is quite happy with them. I'm sure he'll chime in here.
I recommend new springs, however.

I have something very similar, the Echobit shackle flip. It rides better than simply lifting the rear with springs.
I like it and would recommend it. -- Mike

That looks like the shackle flip from www.offroaddesign.com that I am using. I'm pretty happy with mine but beware that your rear axle moves closer to the front of the rear fender well.

Originally I had just the shackle flip gaining 4" and the 35's fit fine.
