go to pirate. there a slew of info on their chevy spring swap thread. read it all twice before you post a question. i barely got 2'' of lift on mine, and i used the factory shackles.

I've done the Chevy swap before, It really doesn't lift the truck that much - in the neighborhood of 2-3" best case... If you need less, adjust your shackle angle.
I needed 4-5" lift, ended up extending the shackle, adjusting the angle, and doing an add-a-leaf.
