Re: front shackles
Read the tech notes at the bottom:
http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/hdshackles.htm These will work: http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/Zero%20Rates.htm Off by more than an inch and you probably need different front springs.

Re: front shackles
Warrior products make shackles that give you an 1-1/2" of lift, so they are probably 3" longer than stock. Any more than that and it will screw up your caster for your frontend alignment.
