Looking for a picture of your rear shackles. I'd like to see how noticable a 3" lift is.

thanks

 

um, excuse me, this is a family message boar.... ohhhh, shackles.

 

 

3" lift shackles are going to be quite long, figure around 9" center to center length (stock is 3.5"). Here's my '85 with 7" center-center shackles:



You would be better off splitting the 3" lift among a couple of items, a soft add-a-leaf (e.g. Rancho Soft-Ride AAL - http://www.gorancho.com/) is good for 1.5-2" then get a shackle to make up the rest of the height: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/Shackles.shtml

On that page is a picture of a Tacoma with a 2" longer than stock (5.5" center-center) rear spring shackle:

 

3" lift shackles? or 3" longer than stock shackles (meaning a 1.5" lift) ? if its actually 3" of lift, i dont think anyone makes that large due to liability, thats just not that safe..... here is my 85 4x2 with 2" lift shackles

 

3" longer than stock shackles, anything longer would be too much, imo.
