please dont kill me, looking for rear leaf shackles

RustyRatRod said

Shackles are really not made to raise the vehicle. They are made to allow the vehicle to be raised more by something else, usually air shocks. This is why you see cars with long shackles on them with leaf springs that are arching backwards at the shackles.

it almost seems like a chicken/egg debate
right now, I have airshocks on there, and they do raise the car a little
but I have also read that over time (and not a long time) this will rip off the shock mount plates, because the shocks are not meant to raise the car


so, I was hoping with a decent set of shackles (maybe the Dakota ones I linked?) AND the airshocks I could raise the car up in a safe manner ?
