shackles

[mattmoski]

I have a couple of questions about shackles and was wondering if someone would be willing to help me out with the answers.
1. if put beltech 6400 shackles in the rear instead of my 4inch block will I have to adjust my drive shaft? if so how.
2. if the beltechs give me about 2inches in the rear would I still have to go with a 1inch block in the back, or would my factory block work?

I have a 01 ranger 2wd xlt with a 5.5 inch lift in the front and the rear sits about an half an inch lower than the front, but I would like it to sit about an inch lower.

well belltechs give you about 1-1.5in of lift so you could do that get some sploder leafs and make a custom pack so then that might get you up to 3in. if you want to stay with the stock leafs and block though you would prolly have to go with a 2in. block with just belltechs

cool, thanks for the advise.
would you happen to know if I would have to do anything with the angle of my drive shaft?

i have the belltechs with a three inch block in the back. the lift block comes slightly angled to help correct the angle. on my truck I didn't have to touch the driveshaft

thanks for your help.
I'm gonna do the belltechs with a 2in block.

thanks again.
