Damn, I totally had a Ford moment and did the geometry wrong in my head. For some reason I was thinking it was like adding blocks to a SUA vs SOA. That it would add lift vs drop. You're absolutely right. Great call as I still have time to return these shackles and get lift shackles. It's not a huge deal as I really only want to gain an inch. More for comfort that anything since I wasn't able to correct with leafs just yet but regardless. Great call. I'll swap those out.

Coming from Jeep YJ's I was thinking it would give me a lift with the longer shackles with SUA but totally slipped on the contact points. Thank you. Another win for this thread.
