Re: Caught between a axle flip and a hard place.

I don't recall if the rear shackles on these are tension or compression style (I have only had trailing arm setups). Depending on the style, either a longer or shorter shackle will raise it up. Keep in mind that you only get half the lift of how much the shackle moves the mounting location (i.e. if the mounting holes are spaced 2" further apart then stock, you will only get a 1" lift).

Obviously this will raise the back of the truck. If you want to keep the current look, you'll have to notch the frame.
