Room for shackle flip on 64" leaf springs

[Terry]

I picked up some chevy leaf springs. I am collecting up my parts for the install. I don't know if I have enough room below my bed to clear the bell tech shackle. I am thinking about a body lift so I have room for the shackle flip and to run longer shocks. How has anyone else done this without cutting into the bed?

I was just thinking the same thing earlier today when I was looking at my truck. Doesn't look like much room above the shackle back there. I'll try and take some pics tomorrow and get them uploader here.

There is a hanger from kartek that is a 11/2" drop. It is made for this. I am not sure if I want to do a body lift or not. I know it will fit then.

id grab the kartek hangers. Nice upgrade to be honest anyways.

I will be tearing the leafs apart to clean. re-bush and replace the shims. I am wondering if I do or don't do a body lift how long of a shock will fit under the bed.
